Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flowx at Free against SPC Mesoanalysis's $3.99. Flowx also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (50 vs 3). SPC Mesoanalysis's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flowx holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flowx has 50 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Flowx's written reviews are positive against 100% of SPC Mesoanalysis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
