Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MSN at 4.6 against SBA NYPD's 1.0. MSN also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and ratings volume (124K vs 1). SBA NYPD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
