Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Save St. Louis at none against Devote's 6. Save St. Louis also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Devote's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
