Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Paragon28 at 100% against Acumed's 50%. Paragon28 also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). Acumed's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Acumed holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Acumed's written reviews are positive against 100% of Paragon28's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Acumed ships an update every 8 months, Paragon28 every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 6, 2026.
