# Nest vs NYIS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NYIS at 100% against Nest's 24%. NYIS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Nest's advantage is ratings volume (2.6M vs 18) and chart position (#97 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

NYIS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nest has 2.6M ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Nest's written reviews are positive against 100% of NYIS's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
