Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Magic Fill at free with in-app purchases against Splice's subscription. Splice's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 40%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
