Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MXBus at 4.2 against ToneBrowser's 3.0. MXBus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (117 vs 1). ToneBrowser's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
