Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Miles at Free against Mileage Metrics's $1.99. Miles also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (159 vs 1). Mileage Metrics's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On rating, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
