Music Plan helps you to create music playing plans with highly customized options using songs from your Apple Music. Beyond repeat and shuffle mode, you can add additional rules like: - Priority: prioritize playing specific songs before playing the full list. - Multi-times: play specified songs for multiple times, with configurable frequency. - Skip: skip songs you don't like while keeping your playlist whole. You can choose from 3 color themes (Music Red, Plain, System), which are fully support Light Mode and Dark Mode. You can create up to 3 plans for free. And after purchasing the "iCloud Sync", you can also sync your plans across multiple Apple devices (login with same Apple ID).

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AO at weekly against Music Plan's every 7 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
