# SOAP Notes vs AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide at none against SOAP Notes's 3. AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 392). SOAP Notes's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months) and chart position (#172 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SOAP Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide asks for nothing beyond the download.

AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide has 2.4K ratings behind it against 392, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of SOAP Notes's written reviews are positive against 49% of AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SOAP Notes ships an update fortnightly, AMTA Massage Anatomy Guide every 14 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
