Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Mighty Moon at Free against Fairy Fire's $0.99. Mighty Moon also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 50%) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). Fairy Fire's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fairy Fire holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mighty Moon has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Fairy Fire's written reviews are positive against 87% of Mighty Moon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
