Verdict

The call

RxLocal and MyOchsner both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of MyOchsner's written reviews are positive against 28% of RxLocal's. MyOchsner also leads on device support (3 vs 1). RxLocal's advantage is ratings volume (75K vs 3.3K) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
