Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Master at 100% against MySolent's 20%. Master also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 35 months). MySolent's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
