Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: AnyTime at Free against Mobile Mouse's $2.99. AnyTime also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Mobile Mouse's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
