Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Back Rx at Free against MediMind's $5.99. Back Rx also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 91%). MediMind's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
