Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mars Future at 82% against Mars's 20%. Mars Future also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). Mars's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
