Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: webPunk at 100% against NOVA's 37%. webPunk also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). NOVA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 22). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
