Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rats N' Lasers at 5.0 against MouseBot's 4.3. Rats N' Lasers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). MouseBot's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
