Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ApothekenApp at none against E's shown. ApothekenApp also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). E's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (96% vs 76%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ApothekenApp holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of ApothekenApp's written reviews are positive against 96% of E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ApothekenApp ships an update every 3 months, E every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
