Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MSKpredict at none against AcuRhythm Acupuncture's shown. MSKpredict also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). AcuRhythm Acupuncture's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
