# Kaiser Permanente vs m

The clearest difference is review sentiment: m at 100% against Kaiser Permanente's 51%. m also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). Kaiser Permanente's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.1M vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Kaiser Permanente holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kaiser Permanente has 1.1M ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Kaiser Permanente's written reviews are positive against 100% of m's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kaiser Permanente ships an update every 4 weeks, m every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
