Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Surgerize at none against WikEM's 10. Surgerize also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). WikEM's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. WikEM sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Surgerize asks for nothing beyond the download.
Surgerize holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WikEM has 4.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
