Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NorthernPlus at none against Cheshmak's shown. NorthernPlus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Cheshmak's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

NorthernPlus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cheshmak has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
