Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Magical Rays at 4.6 against Choir Player's 3.8. Magical Rays also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (208 vs 12). Choir Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
