# EMT Review Plus vs EMS Guidebook

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.
