Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MedSteps at 5.0 against CTO's 1.0. MedSteps also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). CTO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MedSteps sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. CTO asks for nothing beyond the download.
MedSteps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MedSteps has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
CTO ships an update fortnightly, MedSteps every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
