Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: C/C++ at none against MindFlow's shown. C/C++ also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 17 months) and review sentiment (86% vs 69%). MindFlow's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
