Verdict
MATCHi and MOWL both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of MOWL's written reviews are positive against 17% of MATCHi's. MOWL also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MATCHi's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
