Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ollivate at 4.6 against Surgtest's 4.0. Ollivate also leads on ratings volume (70 vs 1). Surgtest's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ollivate holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ollivate has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Surgtest's written reviews are positive against 69% of Ollivate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Surgtest ships an update every 2 weeks, Ollivate weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
