# USMLE vs Surgerize

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Surgerize at none against USMLE's 1. Surgerize also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). USMLE's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. USMLE sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per month. Surgerize asks for nothing beyond the download.

Surgerize holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USMLE has 5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
