Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sherlock at 4.6 against Mind Puzzle's 1.5. Sherlock also leads on review sentiment (24% vs 3%) and ratings volume (341 vs 24). Mind Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
