Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StimRouter Plus at 5.0 against Nerivio's 3.8. StimRouter Plus also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Nerivio's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (119 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
