Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TradeGrub at none against MongoTrader's 2. TradeGrub also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 1). MongoTrader's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
