Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VIPKid at none against Magic Ears Up's 2. VIPKid also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Magic Ears Up's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
