Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Medwise AI at 4.9 against MDU's 4.0. Medwise AI also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). MDU's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Medwise AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $69.99 per month. MDU asks for nothing beyond the download.
Medwise AI holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Medwise AI has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of MDU's written reviews are positive against 50% of Medwise AI's.
MDU ships an update every 3 months, Medwise AI every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
