Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Switcher Pro at 100% against Airmix's 50%. Switcher Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). Airmix's advantage is ratings volume (75 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
