Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: POCUS 101 at 100% against MobilEM's 45%. POCUS 101 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 12). MobilEM's advantage is chart position (#50 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
