The clearest difference is price: Noclip at Free against Specimen Zero's $1.99. Noclip also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). Specimen Zero's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
