Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mandolin Tuner at 4.5 against MightyAmp's 3.5. Mandolin Tuner also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 41%) and ratings volume (795 vs 55). MightyAmp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
