Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Mouse · Keyboard at Free against DevTools's $0.99. Mouse · Keyboard also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). DevTools's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
