Beside (M1)'s advantage is ratings volume (9.2K vs 2) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beside (M1) sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and MopPanda sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
