Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Eolas Medical at 4.2 against TOXBASE's 1.0. Eolas Medical also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model 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. TOXBASE sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Eolas Medical asks for nothing beyond the download.
Eolas Medical holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eolas Medical has 361 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of TOXBASE's written reviews are positive against 19% of Eolas Medical's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TOXBASE ships an update every 6 months, Eolas Medical every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
