# NASPGHAN vs AHA PALS

The clearest difference is rating: NASPGHAN at 5.0 against AHA PALS's 4.5. NASPGHAN also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). AHA PALS's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 1) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AHA PALS sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year. NASPGHAN asks for nothing beyond the download.

NASPGHAN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AHA PALS has 53 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

NASPGHAN ships an update every 3 weeks, AHA PALS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
