Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dose Reminder Lite at none against Pillio's 1. Dose Reminder Lite also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Pillio's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
