Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Musical Bead at none against Launch Masters's shown. Musical Bead also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 18 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
