Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PrismScope at free against MoneyMagic's paid. PrismScope also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 12). MoneyMagic's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 15 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
