Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VisualDx at 4.4 against AAD Meetings's 3.6. VisualDx also leads on ratings volume (186 vs 10) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). AAD Meetings's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
