Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GoodTerm at Free against Menu Bar's $0.99. GoodTerm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). Menu Bar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
