Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: npn.dev at 5.0 against Node.js Lab's 3.9. npn.dev also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). Node.js Lab's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
