Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Robot Counter at none against Nixie Calculator's 1. Robot Counter also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Nixie Calculator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 20 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
