Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 8it at 4.5 against Natoora NYC's 3.7. 8it also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Natoora NYC's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
