Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Middle at 100% against Captain D's's 35%. Middle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Captain D's's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 16) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
