I am developing a system that will give points to people based on
1. their interaction online with our site and mobile application
2. their interaction in the real world where they might trade or volunteer

right now I have both userpoints and mutual credit installed.

How can I use mutual credit instead of userpoints to give points for interactions on my site. There are many contributed userpoints modules that do things like give points for logging in, updating your user picture, creating and commenting on entities.

As I understand userpoints, it is better at awarding points automatically with triggers and page views and things. Community Accounting is more money-like, storing the transactions rather than the points themselves, and concerned with the user payment experience more than automation.
Mutual credit has no contributed modules but includes a lot within the package. Some automation is there but it hasn't been much tested. In D7 there is a payment action, which should work with triggers, but I never finished the rules integration. It is comparatively easy to create payments in modules in code, but if you are not a coder I think you'll get further with userpoints. In D8 rules will work much better with mutual_credit.
I don't suggest you attempt to use both userpoints and mutual credit at the same time!
