Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SparkTune at Free against Music Player One's $2.99. SparkTune also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). Music Player One's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.4). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
