Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sala ERApp at Free against PICUCalc's $4.99. Sala ERApp also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). PICUCalc's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
