Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Field/io at 5.0 against m's 2.2. Field/io also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). m's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 0%) and ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Field/io holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: m has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of m's written reviews are positive against 0% of Field/io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
m ships an update every 2 months, Field/io every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
