Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Blind Steps at none against Nova's 10. Blind Steps also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Nova's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
