Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MedAll at free against BMJ Best Practice's freemium. MedAll also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). BMJ Best Practice's advantage is ratings volume (207 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
