Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ReumApp at Free against PICUCalc's $4.99. ReumApp also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). PICUCalc's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
