Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CatalogsX at 5.0 against Mstaml's 4.6. CatalogsX also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Mstaml's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
