Verdict
The clearest difference is price: STI Tx Guide at Free against ASCVD Risk's $2.99. STI Tx Guide also leads on rating (3.5 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months). ASCVD Risk's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

STI Tx Guide is free to download; ASCVD Risk costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
STI Tx Guide holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STI Tx Guide has 36 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of STI Tx Guide's written reviews are positive against 67% of ASCVD Risk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
STI Tx Guide ships an update every 2 months, ASCVD Risk every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
