Verdict
MLS and Phoenix Home Search both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Phoenix Home Search's written reviews are positive against 57% of MLS's. Phoenix Home Search also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). MLS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 14). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MLS against 5.0 for Phoenix Home Search.
