Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: xTiles at 3.5 against mo's 3.0. xTiles also leads on ratings volume (125 vs 4) and review sentiment (35% vs 25%). mo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
