Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Dental Folio at free against Dentool's subscription. Dental Folio also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Dentool's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
