Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Missing Stuff at 4.2 against Free Stuff Times's 2.6. Missing Stuff also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Free Stuff Times's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 50%) and ratings volume (43 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Missing Stuff holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Free Stuff Times has 43 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Free Stuff Times's written reviews are positive against 50% of Missing Stuff's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
