Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Make Music Count at every 3 weeks against FinPlay's every 5 months. Make Music Count also leads on ratings volume (50 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). FinPlay's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
