Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Defacto UAE at none against LIFE Pharmacy's shown. Defacto UAE also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). LIFE Pharmacy's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 27 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
