Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MDL Mobile at 3.0 against MyKaarma's 1.8. MyKaarma's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (770 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MDL Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyKaarma has 770 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of MDL Mobile's written reviews are positive against 9% of MyKaarma's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MDL Mobile ships an update every 3 months, MyKaarma every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
