Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Magic CarLight at 2.5 against Car's 1.6. Magic CarLight also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 9%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). Car's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
