Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MHC XD at every 5 days against ClearNode's every 3 weeks. MHC XD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). ClearNode's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
