Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MedReality at none against Visual Anatomy Lite's shown. MedReality also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Visual Anatomy Lite's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
