Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Music Visualizer at 4.9 against Sound Visualizer's 2.5. Music Visualizer also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). Sound Visualizer's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
