Due's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

PERSISTENT Reminder is free to download; Due costs $7.99 up front. Due sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and PERSISTENT Reminder sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
