Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Oculyse at none against Eye Strain Guard's 3. Oculyse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 months). Eye Strain Guard's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
