Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Paramount Works at 5.0 against MySCE's 1.9. Paramount Works also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). MySCE's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
