Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BitVision at 4.6 against EdiLife's 1.9. BitVision also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 15) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). EdiLife's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
