Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Obsidian at none against Mind2Plan's 6. Obsidian also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). Mind2Plan's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
