Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Patchwork Health at 5.0 against GasBook's 4.0. Patchwork Health also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Patchwork Health holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Patchwork Health has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Patchwork Health's written reviews are positive against 50% of GasBook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Patchwork Health ships an update every 6 days, GasBook monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
