Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Clinical Guidelines at Free against Woods Lamp Lite's $0.99. Clinical Guidelines also leads on rating (3.7 vs 1.4). Woods Lamp Lite's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Clinical Guidelines holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Clinical Guidelines's written reviews are positive against 33% of Woods Lamp Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
