Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Celiac App at 85% against AIC Mobile's 31%. The Celiac App also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). AIC Mobile's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
