Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cloud IPC at 4.7 against NX's 4.1. Cloud IPC also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and iOS requirement (13 vs 26.0). NX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cloud IPC holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Cloud IPC's written reviews are positive against 58% of NX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cloud IPC ships an update every 2 months, NX every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
