Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Violin ٞ at none against iFX Rack's 20. Violin ٞ also leads on price ($4.99 vs $9.99). iFX Rack's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 131 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
