Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: NABOKI at every 8 days against Modern Magic Ball's every 2 months. NABOKI also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Modern Magic Ball's advantage is chart position (#12 vs #108) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
