Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Plane and Train Crash Tracker at none against MSN's shown. Plane and Train Crash Tracker also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). MSN's advantage is ratings volume (124K vs 2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
