The clearest difference is rating: InpharmD at 4.9 against Pharmacotherapy Handbook's 4.0. InpharmD also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). Pharmacotherapy Handbook's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
