Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MindSwipe™ at 5.0 against Cylinders's 4.2. MindSwipe™ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Cylinders's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 3) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
