Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hyper Boost at Free against Montessori Music Player's $2.99. Hyper Boost also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). Montessori Music Player's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
