Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IV Access at 3.3 against HCA Inspire's 1.6. IV Access also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). HCA Inspire's advantage is ratings volume (820 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
