Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Polar Cloud at none against MasQrade's 3. Polar Cloud also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). MasQrade's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
