Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NATO Ranks at Free against Brevity Codes's $4.99. NATO Ranks also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 29 months). Brevity Codes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
