Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Affirmation Widget at none against Motivation's 14. Affirmation Widget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). Motivation's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.1M vs 49). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
