Verdict
MyUPMC and GIANT Rx both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of GIANT Rx's written reviews are positive against 29% of MyUPMC's. GIANT Rx also leads on iOS requirement (14.2 vs 18.0). MyUPMC's advantage is ratings volume (120K vs 2.1K) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
