Significantly different between two nonlinear functions

Is there any way to find out significantly different between two nonlinear functions?
I have these 2 models for the best fit:
y1 = a1/(b1+x) (blue) and y2 = a2/(b2+x) (red)
Mayby I can log the functions and make it linear and check if the e.g angle are > 0?

Or you could linearise by simply inverting and plotting 1/y1 against x1, and 1/y2 against x2.

I need a method to get the significantly difference as well..
You could calculate the errors on the fits (see linear regression in Matlab's documentation) and compare them.
I don't need the error on the fits (I think..) I want to see if the both lines differ from each other
Find the errors on the slopes and intercepts. Use them to estimate if the lines are the same to within the errors or not.
Ok I will try and figure out to get a statistic significance as well
