tidyResus is a simple cardiac arrest/resus/code log and tracker. It gives you a rhythm stopwatch, event tracking, metronome, and easily accessible summary reports. Simply tap the initial rhythm and a countdown will begin, the rhythm logged. You can record events including changes in resus state (eg. CPR, ROSC), airway interventions, access, drugs, and anything else you like. You can customise or add new events that suit your area of practice. At any point you can view an event log, which will show the events you have recorded. An event summary can be exported to the clipboard so you can copy and paste the summary elsewhere. You can review previous incidents and their associated log. Primarily aimed at prehospital cardiac arrests where resources can be scarce, but may help in any situation where a scribe is not immediately available. tidyResus was developed for those trained in providing ALS. It performs no calculation nor interpretation, and offers no recommendation on assessment, treatment or management of a cardiac arrest. You are entirely responsible for ensuring accurate documentation and appropriate cardiac arrest management. tidyResus is entirely administrative. It records no information beyond the generic events.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: tidyResus at none against ParaPass's 2. tidyResus also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). ParaPass's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
