Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Phien at Free against My Classic's $2.99. Phien also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). My Classic's advantage is chart position (#62 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
