Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Music DJ at none against Mini's 1. Music DJ also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Mini's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
