The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Songtree at none against Rap Maker's 3. Songtree also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Rap Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 136) and review sentiment (73% vs 63%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Songtree against 4.6 for Rap Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rap Maker has 1.1K ratings behind it against 136, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Songtree's written reviews are positive against 73% of Rap Maker's.
