Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UTM SE at 3.8 against MindWave Mobile Tutorial's 3.2. UTM SE also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 75 months) and ratings volume (565 vs 14). MindWave Mobile Tutorial's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
