Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ui MIDI mixer at 3.4 against MX's 2.1. Ui MIDI mixer also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 14%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). MX's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (279 vs 9). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
