The clearest difference is review sentiment: Musaic at 100% against Gridplay's 36%. Musaic also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.0 vs 2.4). Gridplay's advantage is ratings volume (77 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.3 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Musaic is free to download; Gridplay costs $1.99 up front. Gridplay sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Musaic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
