The clearest difference is rating: Factory at 4.9 against Theremini Advanced Software Editor's 3.8. Factory also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 60%) and ratings volume (488 vs 13). Theremini Advanced Software Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
