The clearest difference is rating: MultiTrack DAW at 4.5 against polymachine's 3.4. MultiTrack DAW also leads on ratings volume (281 vs 13) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MultiTrack DAW sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and polymachine sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
