Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Xreviews at Free against Mango 5Star's $2.99. Xreviews also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Mango 5Star's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
