Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BillNama at free with in-app purchases against Nova Invoice's subscription. BillNama also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Nova Invoice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (74% vs 46%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BillNama sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and Nova Invoice sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
