Both are free to download. Fela sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and Esential sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Fela against 5.0 for Esential. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fela has 98 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
