Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ParagonOS™ at 100% against MuchBetter's 29%. ParagonOS™ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). MuchBetter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (396 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
