Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MahaBuddhavan at every 2 days against Dhamma Digital's monthly. MahaBuddhavan also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). Dhamma Digital's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
