Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LyrPlay at 4.5 against DOK's 1.0. LyrPlay also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). DOK's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
