Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nova Nitro at none against Super Starfish's 18. Nova Nitro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Super Starfish's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
