Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FluxPlay at 5.0 against wAlterEgo's 4.0. FluxPlay also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 13 months). wAlterEgo's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
