The Astronaut Cardiovascular Health and Risk Modification (Astro-CHARM) calculator is a tool that incorporates traditional risk factor information with coronary artery calcium (CAC) score results to provide an individual’s estimated 10-year risk of atherosclerotic disease (ASCVD) events, including fatal or non-fatal heart attack or stroke. It is intended for use in younger individuals (ages 40-65) without a prior history of ASCVD. The Astro-CHARM was developed using data from three large, population-based cohorts (the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, Dallas Heart Study, and Prospective Army Coronary Calcium Project), and validated in a fourth cohort (the Framingham Heart Study). Astro-CHARM (aka "astrocharm") was developed by Dr. Amit Khera.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ACC Learn at 4.6 against Astro's 4.0. ACC Learn also leads on ratings volume (969 vs 3) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). Astro's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ACC Learn holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ACC Learn has 969 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Astro's written reviews are positive against 60% of ACC Learn's.
