With Web Drop, you can type text from a PC, tablet, or any other device with a web browser on the same Wi-Fi network and send it directly to Mitchmo, just like chatting.

Mitchmo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On ads there is nothing between them.
