Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Babblo at Free against My Nihongo's $2.99. Babblo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). My Nihongo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
