Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Desti at none against Offline's shown. Desti also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Offline's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
