The clearest difference is rating: MedicationID at 3.9 against PillBox's 1.0. MedicationID also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). PillBox's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.3). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MedicationID sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. PillBox asks for nothing beyond the download.
