Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nimble at 4.5 against Nutshell's 3.1. Nimble also leads on ratings volume (620 vs 85). Nutshell's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Nimble holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nimble has 620 ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Nutshell's written reviews are positive against 50% of Nimble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nutshell ships an update every 3 weeks, Nimble every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
