Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cinier AR at none against Nova Emulator's 3. Cinier AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). Nova Emulator's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
