Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MilkCrate Music at weekly against CrowdLore's every 2 months. MilkCrate Music also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). CrowdLore's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
