Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Inkwire at 100% against NYCPS's 8%. Inkwire also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). NYCPS's advantage is ratings volume (242 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
