Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Nekosan at 4.6 against Rotator's 4.1. Nekosan also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 26 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 68%). Rotator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
