Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Medihelp Mobile at 80% against Ampath's 15%. Ampath's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 1.5) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 14.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads 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.
Ampath holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Medihelp Mobile's written reviews are positive against 15% of Ampath's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Medihelp Mobile ships an update monthly, Ampath every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
