Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iRadTech Lite at 5.0 against Radiology Assistant 2.0's 4.5. iRadTech Lite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Radiology Assistant 2.0's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 21 months) and review sentiment (36% vs 25%). On price, ads and device support 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. Radiology Assistant 2.0 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. iRadTech Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
iRadTech Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radiology Assistant 2.0 has 30 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of iRadTech Lite's written reviews are positive against 36% of Radiology Assistant 2.0's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iRadTech Lite ships an update every 21 months, Radiology Assistant 2.0 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
