Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Live Long! at none against Nowruz's 5. Live Long! also leads on ads (none vs shown). Nowruz's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 19 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.1). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
