Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Moonlight at 4.9 against Nonogram's 4.5. Moonlight also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Nonogram's advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 16) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
