Ominous Advice

Something knows things. Every day, Ominous Advice delivers a single piece of advice to your phone. Where it comes from, we'd rather not say. What you do with it is your business. Don't go down the dark alley. Don't answer the knock at your door. Don't read the letter with no return address. Don't look too long at your reflection in still water. Some of it will seem absurd. Some of it will seem like it was written specifically for you. That's probably a coincidence. Ominous Advice is for people who like their mornings a little unsettling, a daily nudge from somewhere just outside the edge of what's comfortable. Think of it as a horoscope written by someone who has seen things. One notification. One piece of advice. Every day. Heed it or don't. We only warned you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Shilo at Free against Ominous Advice's $0.99. Shilo also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.0). Ominous Advice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
