Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AstorMemory at none against Magic Touch's 4. AstorMemory also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Magic Touch's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
