Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Transfusion at none against Embolus's 8. My Transfusion also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Embolus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
