# Nurse.com vs NurseBrain

The clearest difference is rating: Nurse.com at 4.6 against NurseBrain's 4.1. Nurse.com also leads on chart position (#200 vs unranked) and ratings volume (142 vs 31). NurseBrain's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (85% vs 77%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nurse.com sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per year and NurseBrain sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nurse.com holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 142 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Nurse.com's written reviews are positive against 85% of NurseBrain's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Nurse.com ships an update every 5 weeks, NurseBrain every 5 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
