Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MHLab at none against EffortValueTool's 1. MHLab also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). EffortValueTool's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
