Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MIETHKE at 100% against MedOne's 22%. MIETHKE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MedOne's advantage is ratings volume (135 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
