Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Prism at 5.0 against Eye Type AAC's 2.6. Prism also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 months). Eye Type AAC's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
