Verdict

The call

WellSpan and My Highmark App both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of WellSpan's written reviews are positive against 10% of My Highmark App's. WellSpan also leads on device support (3 vs 1). My Highmark App's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
