The clearest difference is price: iRad Xrays at Free against iRadTech's $24.99. iRad Xrays also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (339 vs 53). iRadTech's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 47%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
