Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sorcery School at none against Nickel Knock's shown. Sorcery School also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 1) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). Nickel Knock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
