Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Nothing X at free against Whale Echo's freemium. Nothing X also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 1). Whale Echo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
