The call

The clearest difference is rating: BD Meetings at 5.0 against Showpad eOS®'s 4.1. BD Meetings also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.4). Showpad eOS®'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
