Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mythic Tools MTG at none against SC2 Playbook's shown. Mythic Tools MTG also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 4). SC2 Playbook's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
