Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Medex Helper at every 4 days against Apotek's every 2 months. Medex Helper also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Apotek's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
