Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sprout at 4.3 against MyADHD's 4.0. Sprout also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). MyADHD's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sprout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and MyADHD sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sprout holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sprout has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Sprout's written reviews are positive against 100% of MyADHD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
