Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MystroX at 4.5 against MEW's 3.5. MystroX also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). MEW's advantage is ratings volume (357 vs 58) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
