Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Thrive Market at free with in-app purchases against Nuuly's subscription. Thrive Market also leads on chart position (#193 vs unranked) and ratings volume (277K vs 31K). Nuuly's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
