Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MechMaxx at 100% against Equipment Trader's 23%. MechMaxx also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Equipment Trader's advantage is ratings volume (556 vs 4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
