Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MinePal Pocket at none against Aubo's 1. MinePal Pocket also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Aubo's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
