Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Miracle Morning Routine at 4.9 against Self's 4.1. Miracle Morning Routine also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 57%) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 269). Self's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
