Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WikiMed at none against History ..'s shown. WikiMed also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 54%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). History ..'s advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 105) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
