Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MDPhD at 5.0 against Evidence Based Medicine Guide's 4.5. MDPhD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). Evidence Based Medicine Guide's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
