Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: My Highmark App at every 8 days against MyUPMC's every 5 weeks. My Highmark App also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). MyUPMC's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 9%) and ratings volume (120K vs 24K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for MyUPMC against 4.7 for My Highmark App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyUPMC has 120K ratings behind it against 24K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
