Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pain Journal at 4.5 against Fibromyalgia Tracker's 1.0. Pain Journal also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Fibromyalgia Tracker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.95 per month and Pain Journal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pain Journal holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pain Journal has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
