Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Emory ECMO at Free against SimMon's $22.99. Emory ECMO also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). SimMon's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 15 months) and chart position (#130 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
