Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Jami at 3.7 against Mumblefy's 1.9. Jami also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). Mumblefy's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
