# VisualDx vs Medweb MedConsult

The clearest difference is rating: Medweb MedConsult at 5.0 against VisualDx's 4.4. Medweb MedConsult also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). VisualDx's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (186 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VisualDx sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month and Medweb MedConsult sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Medweb MedConsult holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VisualDx has 186 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

VisualDx ships an update fortnightly, Medweb MedConsult every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
