Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Long COVID Diary at none against The Mighty's shown. Long COVID Diary also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). The Mighty's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
