Symphony is free to download; Marvis Pro costs $9.99 up front. Marvis Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Symphony sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Marvis Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2.
