Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MB Party at none against YouTube's 15. MB Party also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). YouTube's advantage is chart position (#1 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
