# 中医通 vs 医考帮

The clearest difference is update cadence: 医考帮 at every 9 days against 中医通's every 2 months. 医考帮 also leads on ratings volume (815 vs 9). 中医通's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 中医通 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and 医考帮 sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 中医通 against 4.9 for 医考帮. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 医考帮 has 815 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of 中医通's written reviews are positive against 96% of 医考帮's.

中医通 ships an update every 2 months, 医考帮 every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
