Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AED map at every 9 days against First Aid's every 3 months. AED map also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). First Aid's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 15%) and ratings volume (28 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AED map holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Aid has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of First Aid's written reviews are positive against 15% of AED map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
First Aid ships an update every 3 months, AED map every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
