Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Siddur at every 3 months against Esh Tanya's every 24 months. Siddur also leads on chart position (#147 vs unranked). Esh Tanya's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $5.99). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
