Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ESS Members at none against DUPR's 19. ESS Members also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 1). DUPR's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
