Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Vetster at 4.6 against AmeriHealth's 3.8. Vetster also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 23%) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 123). AmeriHealth's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
