Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PSPD at 100% against MySCE's 12%. PSPD also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.9) and device support (3 vs 1). MySCE's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
