Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MindFlow at 4.4 against Charting's 3.4. MindFlow also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 35%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Charting's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 17 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
