Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Player1Apparel at none against Nintendo Store's shown. Nintendo Store's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
