Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SVN Manual at none against Node.js Lab's 2. SVN Manual also leads on ads (none vs shown). Node.js Lab's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#125 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
