Verdict
WellSpan and MyUPMC both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of WellSpan's written reviews are positive against 28% of MyUPMC's. MyUPMC's advantage is ratings volume (120K vs 2.4K) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, 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.
MyUPMC holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyUPMC has 120K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of WellSpan's written reviews are positive against 28% of MyUPMC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WellSpan ships an update every 4 months, MyUPMC every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
