Verdict

The call

Eko's advantage is chart position (#7 vs #135) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Doximity against 4.9 for Eko.

Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Doximity's written reviews are positive against 51% of Eko's.
