Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Symplast Practice at none against Dean's App's 1. Symplast Practice also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (73 vs 13). Dean's App's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and rating (3.8 vs 3.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
