Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: The Essential Oils Guide at free with in-app purchases against Médicaments's subscription. The Essential Oils Guide also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (30 vs 6). Médicaments's advantage is review sentiment (96% vs 60%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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. Médicaments sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $10.00 per year and The Essential Oils Guide sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Essential Oils Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Essential Oils Guide has 30 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Médicaments's written reviews are positive against 60% of The Essential Oils Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Médicaments ships an update monthly, The Essential Oils Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
