Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Surgtest at 100% against ABS SCORE's 6%. Surgtest also leads on rating (4.0 vs 1.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). ABS SCORE's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Surgtest holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABS SCORE has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Surgtest's written reviews are positive against 6% of ABS SCORE's.
Surgtest ships an update every 2 weeks, ABS SCORE every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
