Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Magic Home Pro at 2.8 against S's 2.2. Magic Home Pro also leads on ratings volume (933 vs 16) and review sentiment (26% vs 8%). S's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
