Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Eolas Medical at every 6 days against MDU's every 3 months. Eolas Medical also leads on ratings volume (361 vs 1) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). MDU's advantage is iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
