Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mimas at 5.0 against Cascable Studio's 4.0. Mimas also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Cascable Studio's advantage is ratings volume (380 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
