Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MotoCync at Free against MX Buddy's $8.99. MotoCync also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). MX Buddy's advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 5) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
