Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Classical at none against Classical Music+'s 1. Classical also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Classical Music+'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
