Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Inside Verizon at none against MSN's 1. Inside Verizon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 38%). MSN's advantage is ratings volume (124K vs 48) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
