The short version

  • Only Mural has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Mural the free plan allows 3 editable murals at a time, so working on a fourth means archiving one; Mmhmm renamed to Airtime and split into four separate tools, Camera, Recorder, Creator and Stacks, rather than the single app the mmhmm name refers to
  • They diverge on capability: Mural covers Infinite canvas, Mmhmm covers Custom layouts.
