Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Matsuya at none against ResX's 8. Matsuya also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). ResX's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
