Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Formula Nova at 3.4 against Bracket Maker's 2.5. Formula Nova also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Bracket Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
