Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MySQL Mobile Client at Free against JSON Web Token's $2.99. MySQL Mobile Client also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 27 months) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). JSON Web Token's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
