Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Perio Brain at none against OrthoKit's 4. Perio Brain also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.1). OrthoKit's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
