Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: No at 100% against UpToDate's 28%. No also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and monetization model (free vs subscription). UpToDate's advantage is ratings volume (583 vs 2) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
No holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UpToDate has 583 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of UpToDate's written reviews are positive against 100% of No's.
UpToDate ships an update every 5 weeks, No every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
