Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kanji Gacha Cat at none against Norimono Button's 1. Kanji Gacha Cat also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Norimono Button's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
