Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mystery Files at 4.6 against Mudd Masher's 3.7. Mystery Files also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 85) and chart position (#173 vs unranked). 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 Mystery Files sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mystery Files holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mystery Files has 5.8K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Mudd Masher's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mystery Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
