Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Nurse.com at none against Lippincott Nursing Procedures's shown. Nurse.com also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). Lippincott Nursing Procedures's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
