Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Climbit Score at none against Mountain's 2. Climbit Score also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Mountain's advantage is ratings volume (707 vs 15) and chart position (#62 vs unranked). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
