Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NSOperation at none against BASIC Programming Compiler's 1. NSOperation also leads on ads (none vs shown). BASIC Programming Compiler's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.2). On price there is nothing between them.
