Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Nom at 4.7 against Mutant Escape !'s 4.0. The Nom also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 84). Mutant Escape !'s advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 48%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mutant Escape ! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Nom sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Nom holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Nom has 23K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Mutant Escape !'s written reviews are positive against 48% of The Nom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mutant Escape ! ships an update every 2 months, The Nom weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
