Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MIETHKE at none against NeuroCortex's 1. MIETHKE also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). NeuroCortex's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
