As long as i get to be the frog
How about opportunity cost such as action type, resource spent, or range?
No way to factor any of that in.

Paladin lay on hands is sometime just too god. Spreading 1 hit point at the time to bring a character on its feets is amazingly efficient vs cure or healing word.
at low level when potion are still a good expense this ability outshine the cleric.
otherwise, I rarely see spell slot spent successively to heal someone with cure light wound,
Hell as long as the party short rests you can get on fine without a healer at all.
The heroism spell. Depending on ability score and duration of combat the temp hp can be more effecient slot use than cure wounds or healing word.
Level progression is also significant. By the time paladins add aura of vitality clerics are adding mass cure wounds, greater restoration, and raise dead while clerics are adding prayer of healing and aid at 3rd level.
IMO if you have a safe 10 minutes you likely have a safe hour. Which puts prayer of healing at a disadvantage compared to all these other healing spells.
As for aid - great spell.
Lots of factor to take into account.Healing during combat in 5e is only good in selected tactical situations. The best benefit is if the healing is a group healing, or to get a player out of his death saves. Heals just because someone is low on HP are not recommendable, except it is the healer himself being low on HP.
