Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: NeuroBuddy at free against Ingenious Med's freemium. NeuroBuddy also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). Ingenious Med's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
