Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Figure 1 at none against Basic Radiology's 1. Figure 1 also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 50%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Basic Radiology's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
