Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Littmann Learning at 4.9 against eGFR Calculators's 4.0. Littmann Learning also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (850 vs 16). eGFR Calculators's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Littmann Learning sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. eGFR Calculators asks for nothing beyond the download.
Littmann Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Littmann Learning has 850 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of eGFR Calculators's written reviews are positive against 48% of Littmann Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
eGFR Calculators ships an update every 9 months, Littmann Learning every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
