Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mochii at none against Instrument Classification's shown. Instrument Classification's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (15.8.3 vs 17.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
