Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CHEST Education at 50% against MedStudy's 22%. MedStudy's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MedStudy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 133 and 261 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of CHEST Education's written reviews are positive against 22% of MedStudy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
