Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ChordMaster at 5.0 against AllMyGuitars's 4.0. ChordMaster also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). AllMyGuitars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (29 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
