Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MuteNote at none against THE Tether's 2. MuteNote also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). THE Tether's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
