Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReversU at none against Mancala.'s 11. ReversU also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.4). Mancala.'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and chart position (#116 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
