Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: PetMeds at Free against Totalup's $1.99. PetMeds also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (16 vs 18.5). Totalup's advantage is chart position (#24 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
