Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Triangle at 50% against NiteApps's 0%. Triangle also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). NiteApps's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
