Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Medly at 4.6 against ボーカラ's 4.0. Medly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). ボーカラ's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Medly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. ボーカラ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Medly holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Medly has 38K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of ボーカラ's written reviews are positive against 74% of Medly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ボーカラ ships an update every 2 months, Medly every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
