Verdict
MUD\WTR and Purple Carrot both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of MUD\WTR's written reviews are positive against 35% of Purple Carrot's. MUD\WTR also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Purple Carrot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
