Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dynamix at Free against Cytus's $1.99. Dynamix also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Cytus's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (92% vs 68%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
