Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BujoFlow at freemium against Novaplan's subscription. BujoFlow also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Novaplan's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 57%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
