Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DiscoMachine Lite at none against Ugokist's 1. DiscoMachine Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown). Ugokist's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 19 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
