Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MIC at 5.0 against mySet's 4.5. MIC also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). mySet's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
