Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MoneyGigs at 100% against Cortex Cloud's 29%. MoneyGigs also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Cortex Cloud's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (73 vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
