Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WikiMed at none against WikiVibe's 1. WikiMed also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 1). WikiVibe's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
