Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: YOUdermoscopy at 4.6 against iDoc24's 3.3. YOUdermoscopy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). iDoc24's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support 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. iDoc24 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. YOUdermoscopy asks for nothing beyond the download.
YOUdermoscopy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YOUdermoscopy has 41 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of iDoc24's written reviews are positive against 54% of YOUdermoscopy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iDoc24 ships an update every 6 weeks, YOUdermoscopy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
