Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Native Mobile at Free against MermaidEditor's $3.99. Native Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). MermaidEditor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and chart position (#119 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
