Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UpToDate Lexidrug at 4.7 against TigerConnect's 2.7. UpToDate Lexidrug also leads on ratings volume (6K vs 570) and chart position (#15 vs #204). TigerConnect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
