Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Glucomate at every 3 weeks against Glucometer's every 15 months. Glucomate also leads on ratings volume (158 vs 11) and device support (3 vs 1). Glucometer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
