Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Med App at 5.0 against HotDoc's 4.3. Med App also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks). HotDoc's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
