Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Aster at none against NordPass's 10. The Aster also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). NordPass's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
