Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Planbook Mobile at 4.8 against MimioMobile's 3.8. Planbook Mobile also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). MimioMobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
