Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Odd Bot Out at Free against MindGrow Garden's $4.99. Odd Bot Out also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). MindGrow Garden's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
