Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Miofive holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 537 and 111 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Miofive's written reviews are positive against 66% of HINT Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
