Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Xaap at 4.1 against nViewer's 2.7. Xaap also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 20%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). nViewer's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
