Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Meta Horizon at 4.5 against Mineforge VR's 3.7. Meta Horizon also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (227K vs 1.5K). Mineforge VR's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
