Verdict
Mountain Project and Kendamanomics both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Kendamanomics's written reviews are positive against 36% of Mountain Project's. Kendamanomics also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Mountain Project's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
