Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RECON at 100% against BCBSOK's 44%. RECON also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BCBSOK's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
