Verdict

The call

WikEM and POCUS 101 both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of POCUS 101's written reviews are positive against 54% of WikEM's. POCUS 101 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). WikEM's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 11). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
