Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MedVendor at every 4 days against MyMethodist's every 2 months. MedVendor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). MyMethodist's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 20). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
