Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iMimic at none against Pac.io's shown. iMimic also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Pac.io's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
