Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Musical Memory at 4.2 against Osmo World's 3.9. Musical Memory also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Osmo World's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 284). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
