Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Met Opera at 4.9 against GalaPro's 1.5. Met Opera also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 11). GalaPro's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
