Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OnStage at every 2 days against CrowdLore's every 2 months. OnStage also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). CrowdLore's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
