Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PedsHelp at none against NYSORA Nerve Blocks's 2. PedsHelp also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). NYSORA Nerve Blocks's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
