Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Paramedic Survey Helper at Free against Vitals's $4.99. Paramedic Survey Helper also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Vitals's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
