Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eight Saints at 100% against SELF by LFA's 50%. Eight Saints also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). SELF by LFA's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
