Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planesthesia at none against Faust's Anesthesiology Review's 1. Planesthesia also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Faust's Anesthesiology Review's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
