Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Election Explorer at none against Nuke Simulator's 1. Election Explorer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Nuke Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 26 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
