Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TapTunes at 3.1 against iDigMusic's 2.0. TapTunes also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 40%) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). iDigMusic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
