Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MindFox at none against AI's shown. MindFox also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). AI's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
