Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scheffres+ at none against Silent Hour's 2. Scheffres+ also leads on ratings volume (606 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Silent Hour's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
