Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Toastmost at none against MasterClass's 6. Toastmost also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). MasterClass's advantage is ratings volume (123K vs 1) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
