Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OceanTech at none against My Aquarium NovaApps's 1. OceanTech also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). My Aquarium NovaApps's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
