Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Egydose at 4.7 against Medscape's 3.6. Egydose also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 64%) and device support (4 vs 2). Medscape's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 38). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Egydose sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Medscape asks for nothing beyond the download.
Egydose holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Medscape has 1.4K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Medscape's written reviews are positive against 85% of Egydose's.
Medscape ships an update fortnightly, Egydose every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
