Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reverse Audio at 88% against Mixy's 27%. Reverse Audio also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and device support (3 vs 1). Mixy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
