Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: US Physiatry at none against DocUpdate's shown. DocUpdate's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#194 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
