Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mind Games at 4.6 against Real IQ Test's 4.1. Mind Games also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 157) and review sentiment (84% vs 61%). Real IQ Test's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
