Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pac.io at 4.2 against Mudd Masher's 3.7. Pac.io also leads on ratings volume (297 vs 85). Mudd Masher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mudd Masher sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Pac.io sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pac.io holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 85 and 297 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Mudd Masher's written reviews are positive against 54% of Pac.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
