Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Studiora at none against Solo Focus's shown. Studiora also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Solo Focus's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
