The short answer
Both pay you for time spent playing games. The big split is what you get: Mistplay pays in gift cards only, JustPlay pays PayPal cash, gift cards or a donation. Mistplay runs on Android and iOS. JustPlay's own terms cover the Android app only.

Mistplay: pros and cons
Pros
- On both Android and iOS.
- 50M+ downloads on Google Play.
- "Absolutely no withdrawal fees", per its terms.
- Mistplay says it has given out over $200 million in rewards since 2016 (its own figure).
Cons
- Gift cards only. No cash.
- Units expire after 180 days with no earning.

JustPlay: pros and cons
Pros
- PayPal cash is an option.
- Usually no minimum to cash out.
- A named Berlin company with a registry number in the terms.

Which one fits you
- You want cash in PayPal: JustPlay.
- You are on iPhone: Mistplay (or another app that is on iOS).
- You only use gift cards anyway: Mistplay is fine.
- You play in short bursts: both reward time played, so short sessions earn less. Goal based apps can fit better.
A third option: Cashkun
Cashkun pays for set goals, not minutes. Reach a level in Royal Match or a village in Coin Master and the partner confirms it, then coins land in your wallet. 1,000 coins = $1. Cash out to PayPal and gift cards from $1, on web, Android and iOS. You must be 18+.
Cashkun is newer, and a goal can take more play than you expect. See Cashkun vs Mistplay and is Cashkun legit.
