The U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use comprises recommendations for the use of specific contraceptive methods by patients who have certain characteristics or medical conditions. The U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use addresses a select group of common, yet sometimes controversial or complex, issues regarding initiation and use of specific contraceptive methods. The app is developed directly from the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) by the Division of Reproductive Health and covers more than 60 characteristics or medical conditions (U.S. MEC) and numerous clinical situations (U.S. SPR). These recommendations are intended to assist healthcare providers when they counsel women, men, and couples about contraceptive method choice and use. Although these recommendations are meant to serve as a source or clinical guidance, healthcare providers should always consider the individual clinical circumstances of each person seeking family planning services.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Contraception at 64% against MedHub's 18%. MedHub's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5K vs 27). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MedHub holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MedHub has 5K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Contraception's written reviews are positive against 18% of MedHub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Contraception ships an update every 7 months, MedHub every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
