Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MindTune at 100% against SelfHypnosis.com's 31%. MindTune also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 18 months). SelfHypnosis.com's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
