Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mindel at none against OLIVELA's shown. Mindel also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). OLIVELA's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (17 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
