Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MiruXR at Free against Plezy's $5.99. MiruXR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Plezy's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 9) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
