Verdict
RelyMD and DoctorsBeyond both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of DoctorsBeyond's written reviews are positive against 72% of RelyMD's. DoctorsBeyond also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). RelyMD's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 113) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
