Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: S5 Update at none against Material Cut Optimizer's 4. S5 Update also leads on iOS requirement (14 vs 26.0). Material Cut Optimizer's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
