Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MSN at 4.6 against A365's 4.0. MSN also leads on ratings volume (124K vs 5) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). A365'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.
