Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TiltSwitch at none against NOVA's 3. TiltSwitch also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). NOVA's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 48) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
