Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Midtown at 67% against Excellus BCBS's 14%. Midtown also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Excellus BCBS's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 74) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Excellus BCBS holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Excellus BCBS has 1.8K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Excellus BCBS's written reviews are positive against 67% of Midtown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
