Pulseform

Pulseform is a bedside patient monitor simulator designed for clinical educators. Turn any iPhone or iPad into a fully interactive bedside monitor, complete with real-time vital signs, alarms, and simulations. Pulseform supports two modes: Patient Monitor and Nurse Input. Patient Monitor transforms the iPhone or iPad into a full-screen bedside patient monitor, showing with heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and temperature. Along with vitals display, it also has authentic alarm sounds, alert indicators, and auto BP readings that create an immersive experience. Nurse Input allows a secondary iPhone or iPad to remotely control the vitals displayed on the patient monitor in realtime. Changes appear instantly on all connected patient monitors. It also has support for scenarios, allowing for vitals to be sent at the exact right time, without the need to manually send the inputs to the patient monitor. Designed for clinical educators, Pulseform provides a portable, configurable, realistic experience for running simulation sessions and teaching students how to interpret a patient monitor, without the need for expensive hardware! Note: This requires two devices to perform the simulation (it does not require two separate purchases of the app).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ALSi at Free against Pulseform's $9.99. ALSi also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
