Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MindBait at none against Storyteller's 1. MindBait also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Storyteller's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
