Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: MyDST at 2K against Mengalinga's 1. MyDST also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Mengalinga's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
