Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Moosti at 100% against MindNode's 48%. Moosti also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). MindNode's advantage is ratings volume (305 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
