Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Host Tools at 4.8 against Mango Manage's 3.7. Host Tools also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (206 vs 3). Mango Manage's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
