Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pyralis at none against Cassette Manager's 2. Pyralis also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Cassette Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
