Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Nota at 4.3 against SITIM медиа's 3.0. Nota also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2) and review sentiment (59% vs 35%). SITIM медиа's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
