Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Osiobe at 5.0 against MashedBrain's 4.4. Osiobe also leads on device support. MashedBrain's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Osiobe sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. MashedBrain asks for nothing beyond the download.
Osiobe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MashedBrain has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
