Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: El Universal + at 5.0 against Milenio Play's 3.1. El Universal + also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 40%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Milenio Play's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
