Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ESC Pocket Guidelines at 4.8 against MIMS Thailand's 4.0. ESC Pocket Guidelines also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (841 vs 1). MIMS Thailand's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
