Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DJI Mimo at none against Album Trail's 4. DJI Mimo also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Album Trail's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
