Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Echodex at free against Lab Alpha Medical Converter's paid. Echodex also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Lab Alpha Medical Converter's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
