Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MSR Control at Free against EasyMSR's $18.99. MSR Control also leads on rating (3.5 vs 2.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). EasyMSR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
