Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vision Engage at 72% against Patient Cloud's 7%. Vision Engage also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 113). Patient Cloud's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
