Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elite Self at none against KBMH's 10. Elite Self also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). KBMH's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (460 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
