Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AUB Mobile at 100% against Open's 21%. AUB Mobile also leads on rating (3.3 vs 2.6) and iOS requirement (10.1 vs 15.0). Open's advantage is ratings volume (84 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
