EMS Guidebook allows the user to view the medical protocols of specific EMS agencies. This guidebook is meant to be a replacement of the traditional flip book guides that EMTs and Paramedics carry for reference on emergency calls. The specific agencies protocols require passwords to download. Those passwords are available from the agency's Training Officer. The Generic Protocols are available without a password. As part of the base program, each set of protocols contain references such as pediatric vital signs, burn references, c-spine clearance charts, 12-lead guidelines, American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, START and JumpSTART triage guides. There are also guides to several common cardiac rhythms with examples. If you wish to have your protocols put into this system contact us through the app

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: EMS Guidebook at Free against EMT Review Plus's $13.99. EMS Guidebook also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). EMT Review Plus's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 33%) and in-app purchases (none vs 7). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

EMS Guidebook is free to download; EMT Review Plus costs $13.99 up front. EMS Guidebook sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. EMT Review Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.
EMS Guidebook holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 46 and 90 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of EMT Review Plus's written reviews are positive against 33% of EMS Guidebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
