# NSW Trauma vs AnSo

The clearest difference is rating: NSW Trauma at 4.0 against AnSo's 3.5. NSW Trauma also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). AnSo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (31 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AnSo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. NSW Trauma asks for nothing beyond the download.

NSW Trauma holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AnSo has 31 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of NSW Trauma's written reviews are positive against 40% of AnSo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NSW Trauma ships an update every 7 months, AnSo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
