# Surgtest vs Ollivate

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.

Both are free to download. Ollivate sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $25.00 per month. Surgtest asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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