Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Herbs 101 at none against Herbal Medics's 2. Herbs 101 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.1). Herbal Medics's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
