Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: STI Tx Guide at 3.5 against How To Use Inhaler's 2.2. STI Tx Guide also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (36 vs 6). How To Use Inhaler's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. How To Use Inhaler sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. STI Tx Guide asks for nothing beyond the download.
STI Tx Guide holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STI Tx Guide has 36 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of How To Use Inhaler's written reviews are positive against 36% of STI Tx Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
How To Use Inhaler ships an update every 5 weeks, STI Tx Guide every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
