Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Amanz at 100% against Matter's 54%. Amanz also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 21) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Matter's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#108 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
