# Anesthesia Central vs Sedation Calculator

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sedation Calculator at none against Anesthesia Central's 2. Sedation Calculator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Anesthesia Central's advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 3) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anesthesia Central sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per year. Sedation Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
