Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Xmind at 76% against AdKiller's 14%. Xmind also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (7K vs 11). AdKiller's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
