Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HappyRx at 5.0 against GlucoWatch's 3.6. HappyRx also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). GlucoWatch's advantage is ratings volume (195 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
