Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mixbrite at every 10 days against Magic Switch's every 10 months. Mixbrite also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Magic Switch's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
