# DoctorsBeyond vs DocSquad

The clearest difference is monetization model: DoctorsBeyond at free against DocSquad's free with in-app purchases. DoctorsBeyond also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%). DocSquad's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 113). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DoctorsBeyond against 4.9 for DocSquad. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DocSquad has 3.9K ratings behind it against 113, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of DoctorsBeyond's written reviews are positive against 85% of DocSquad's.
