Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NC Black Rep at 5.0 against DPAC's 2.9. NC Black Rep also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). DPAC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
