Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Water at fortnightly against NagareVisualizer's every 3 months. Water also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). NagareVisualizer's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
