Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Centered Cardboard at 100% against MintCollect's 56%. Centered Cardboard also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.9) and ads (none vs shown). MintCollect's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
