Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NCLS holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of NCLS's written reviews are positive against 8% of P1 ChatOps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NCLS ships an update every 3 months, P1 ChatOps every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
