Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Native Mobile at every 6 days against MySQL Mobile Client's every 4 weeks. Native Mobile also leads on device support (4 vs 2). MySQL Mobile Client's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
