Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: UX Comp at free with in-app purchases against The Apparel Mentor's subscription. UX Comp also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). The Apparel Mentor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Apparel Mentor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and UX Comp sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for The Apparel Mentor against 5.0 for UX Comp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Apparel Mentor has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
