Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 起名 at none against Narda's 1. 起名 also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Narda's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price there is nothing between them.
