The U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use comprises recommendations for the use of specific contraceptive methods by patients who have certain characteristics or medical conditions. The U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use addresses a select group of common, yet sometimes controversial or complex, issues regarding initiation and use of specific contraceptive methods. The app is developed directly from the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) by the Division of Reproductive Health and covers more than 60 characteristics or medical conditions (U.S. MEC) and numerous clinical situations (U.S. SPR). These recommendations are intended to assist healthcare providers when they counsel women, men, and couples about contraceptive method choice and use. Although these recommendations are meant to serve as a source or clinical guidance, healthcare providers should always consider the individual clinical circumstances of each person seeking family planning services.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Contraception at none against InfantRisk HCP's 1. Contraception also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 39%). InfantRisk HCP's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

InfantRisk HCP holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InfantRisk HCP has 161 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of InfantRisk HCP's written reviews are positive against 64% of Contraception's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

InfantRisk HCP ships an update every 2 weeks, Contraception every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
