Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: re.flex at 5.0 against Arthritis Today's 2.9. re.flex also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Arthritis Today's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
