Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: One App Artist at 100% against Freecords's 31%. One App Artist also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.7). Freecords's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
