Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SymphoTouch at none against DMX Patch's shown. SymphoTouch also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). DMX Patch's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
