# CPT QuickRef vs ICD

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ICD at 50% against CPT QuickRef's 11%. ICD also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12). CPT QuickRef's advantage is ratings volume (365 vs 7) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CPT QuickRef sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. ICD asks for nothing beyond the download.

CPT QuickRef holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CPT QuickRef has 365 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of CPT QuickRef's written reviews are positive against 50% of ICD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
