Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for NOGU against 4.8 for Mantra®. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NOGU has 1.2K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of NOGU's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mantra®'s.
