Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The PrEP Resource at 5.0 against Med Standards's 4.5. The PrEP Resource also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Med Standards's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (64 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
