Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Philips MR Imaging at free against Elsevier eBooks+'s freemium. Philips MR Imaging also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Elsevier eBooks+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
