Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MHGU Database at none against ProDex's 19. MHGU Database also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). ProDex's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
