Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 모해 at 5.0 against 다음 카페's 2.8. 모해 also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 30%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 다음 카페's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
