Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RoutineFlow at 61% against Pelago's 33%. RoutineFlow also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 8) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pelago sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and RoutineFlow sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RoutineFlow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RoutineFlow has 2.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Pelago's written reviews are positive against 61% of RoutineFlow's.
