Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Evidence Based Medicine Guide at 4.5 against ICD's 4.0. Evidence Based Medicine Guide also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 4). ICD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ICD sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Evidence Based Medicine Guide sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Evidence Based Medicine Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evidence Based Medicine Guide has 54 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ICD's written reviews are positive against 25% of Evidence Based Medicine Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ICD ships an update every 14 months, Evidence Based Medicine Guide every 10 months. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
