Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CMADocs at 100% against ReachMD's 55%. CMADocs also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). ReachMD's advantage is ratings volume (197 vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
