Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: eSELFSERVE at 1.7K against Danceworks Studio's 2. eSELFSERVE also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Danceworks Studio's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
