Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Live Lounge at 100% against NOSH's 44%. Live Lounge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 17 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
