Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: InsTranspose at none against Anytune's shown. InsTranspose also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Anytune's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 102) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
