Verdict
Nice Kicks and Tuft the World both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 99% of Tuft the World's written reviews are positive against 57% of Nice Kicks's. Nice Kicks's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
