Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EFTM at none against The Nightly's shown. EFTM also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 44%). The Nightly's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 15 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
