Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lokole App at none against MSN's shown. Lokole App also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13 vs 18.0). MSN's advantage is chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
