Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ACEP at none against STAT EM's 2. ACEP also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1). STAT EM's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. STAT EM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. ACEP asks for nothing beyond the download.
ACEP holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ACEP's written reviews are positive against 33% of STAT EM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ACEP ships an update monthly, STAT EM every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
