Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mirlo Mobile at Free against Italizer's $4.99. Mirlo Mobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). Italizer's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
