Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MediaInfo at 3.8 against AudioInfo's 1.0. MediaInfo also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). AudioInfo's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
