The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MLS at every 3 weeks against Stratus Collab's every 3 months. MLS also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 27%) and ratings volume (13K vs 1.2K). Stratus Collab's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MLS against 4.8 for Stratus Collab.
