Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Medweb MedConsult at free against FP Notebook's subscription. Medweb MedConsult also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). FP Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
