Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Miminic at free against Whisker's free with in-app purchases. Miminic also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Whisker's advantage is ratings volume (150K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
