Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Respiratory Notes at 4.0 against Respiratory Diseases's 1.0. Respiratory Notes also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). Respiratory Diseases's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
