Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MQTTAnalyzer at 78% against Nous Smart's 32%. MQTTAnalyzer also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). Nous Smart's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Nous Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Nous Smart's written reviews are positive against 78% of MQTTAnalyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nous Smart ships an update every 4 months, MQTTAnalyzer every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on July 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
