The audience for the pGALS app is primarily medical students but is also relevant for nurses, allied health and any other health care professionals working with children.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ISPAD Society at every 10 days against pGALS's every 6 months. pGALS's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
