Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Magical Menu at none against Piada's shown. Magical Menu also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Piada's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
