Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MyVIP app at none against The Playground App's shown. MyVIP app also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). The Playground App's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
