Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Mixbrite at Free against F's $2.99. Mixbrite also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). F's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
