Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: MyChart at 737K against UTSWMyCare's 16K. MyChart also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). UTSWMyCare's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (71% vs 61%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
