Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Selfmap at 5.0 against StartLife Mental Coach's 1.0. Selfmap also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). StartLife Mental Coach's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
