Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mickey Alerts at none against MagicTable's 8. Mickey Alerts also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). MagicTable's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 2) and chart position (#56 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
