AnSo is a convenient resource designed to help anaesthetists identify common sonoanatomy, in a time efficient manner, within the busy operating theatre. It has been created by practicing anaesthetists with an interest in teaching ultrasound and regional anaesthesia. Please note that a subscription is required to access all content for this app. You can purchase a monthly or yearly subscription after signing in. AnSo: - provides multiple examples of the sonoanatomy as every individual is different, - provides landmark sketches useful for developing pattern recognition of landmark structures, and for trainees to draw in exams, - displays the cutaneous, motor, osseous and visceral innervation of the numerous nerve blocks and fascial plane blocks now available, facilitating appropriate block choice and knowledge of expected results, - allows combining and comparing block innervation, - allows images to be flipped to display both L and R sided orientation, - demonstrates functional ergonomics with patient, ultrasound screen and proceduralist positioning essential for efficient practical performance, - provides block notes with sonoanatomy tips and practical tips from experienced clinicians which can be invaluable to the learner. AnSo is not only for regional anaesthesia but includes many other perioperative uses of ultrasound relevant to the anaesthetist, such as: - airway - gastric antrum - vascular access - spine - transthoracic echo - lung signs AnSo contains: - over 250 ultrasound images with over 1500 sonoanatomy colour overlays, - innervation images, - ergonomic images, - landmarks pattern sketches, - loops when required for dynamic sonoanatomy, - notes with tips from experienced clinicians. AnSo helps identify not only the target structures but all the surrounding sonoanatomy. This more comprehensive understanding of the sonoanatomy helps detect anatomical variability, improves the safety and efficacy of procedures, and facilitates learning and teaching. AnSo has been designed in a format that can be easily updated and distributed to users so the information can be kept as current as possible in this rapidly expanding field. AnSo does not require an internet connection to run. Once downloaded all data is stored on your device so it will work anywhere and images will display without any delay.

Opioid Conversion Calculator is built for health professionals who need a clear, efficient way to compare opioid doses and review the clinical context behind a conversion. Built by a pharmacist. CALCULATE AND COMPARE - Calculate total oral morphine equivalent (OME) across multiple opioids and routes: oral, parenteral, rectal, sublingual and transdermal. - See every converted dose at once, after applying a chosen Target OME percentage for incomplete cross-tolerance. - View conservative, rounded-down target and breakthrough dose suggestions. - See where a daily dose sits: the header warms from orange at 50 mg/day (CDC 2022) to red at 120 mg/day (Opioids Aware). Adjust the thresholds or turn the guide off. - Methadone uses its own dose-dependent model, and its results are clearly marked as not a starting dose. - Convert the same opioid between routes, such as oral and parenteral morphine, with the method and sources shown. EVERY RESULT, IN CONTEXT - Each result opens with the converted dose, then products, clinical information, breakthrough dosing and switching timing. - Read practice points alongside formulation-specific pharmacology, with links to the supporting sources. - Check when to start the new opioid when switching between patches, modified-release opioids and CSCI. Switching timing is also in the menu, free for everyone. - View official products and strengths for Australia, the United States, Germany, France and Spain, chosen independently from the app language. TAILOR THE WORKFLOW - Edit conversion factors and choose which opioids appear, with Pro. - Export and import settings when moving between devices, with Pro. - Works offline, including on first launch. - Use the app in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil) or Spanish. PRO ACCESS The calculator stays free: the combined OME and every converted dose need no account or purchase. Pro adds breakthrough dosing, switching timing, products and clinical information to every result, plus custom conversion factors, opioid visibility and settings transfer. Your first detailed results are free to try. Available plans, prices and any introductory offer are shown using the information supplied by the App Store before purchase. Purchases can be restored in the app. CLINICAL USE Equianalgesic conversions are estimates and do not replace clinical judgement. Consider incomplete cross-tolerance, patient factors, formulation, route, local guidance and monitoring when interpreting a result. Review the references and terms of use before using the calculator in clinical practice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Opioid Conversion Calculator at free with in-app purchases against AnSo's subscription. Opioid Conversion Calculator also leads on rating (3.7 vs 3.5). AnSo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AnSo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Opioid Conversion Calculator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Opioid Conversion Calculator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of AnSo's written reviews are positive against 38% of Opioid Conversion Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AnSo ships an update fortnightly, Opioid Conversion Calculator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
