Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Spectrum at 63% against MySCE's 12%. My Spectrum also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.9) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). MySCE's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
