Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mountex at 100% against MÁVPlusz's 5%. Mountex also leads on rating (4.0 vs 1.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). MÁVPlusz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
