Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MosaLingua at free with in-app purchases against FluentU's subscription. MosaLingua also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 56%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). FluentU's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
