Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vumedi at 4.9 against Practical Gastroenterology's 4.0. Vumedi also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 1). Practical Gastroenterology's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, 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.
Vumedi holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vumedi has 4.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Practical Gastroenterology's written reviews are positive against 68% of Vumedi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Practical Gastroenterology ships an update every 14 months, Vumedi weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
