Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Drinkable at none against Mixel's 10. Drinkable also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Mixel's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
