# NREMT vs EMT PASS (new)

The clearest difference is price: NREMT at Free against EMT PASS (new)'s $32.99. NREMT also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (8K vs 87). EMT PASS (new)'s advantage is chart position (#13 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

NREMT is free to download; EMT PASS (new) costs $32.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

NREMT holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NREMT has 8K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of NREMT's written reviews are positive against 43% of EMT PASS (new)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NREMT ships an update every 2 months, EMT PASS (new) every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
