Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ASME Conferences at 4.1 against Summary.com's 3.4. ASME Conferences also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (55 vs 10). Summary.com's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 17%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ASME Conferences holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASME Conferences has 55 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Summary.com's written reviews are positive against 17% of ASME Conferences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Summary.com ships an update every 8 months, ASME Conferences weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
