The clearest difference is ads: Noel at none against Christmas Fix's shown. Noel also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (84 vs 5). Christmas Fix's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
