Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SelfHelp UniBE at none against ProxMate's 6. SelfHelp UniBE also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). ProxMate's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
