Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MK Pro at Free against Aether's $1.99. MK Pro also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Aether's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
