Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nest at none against Bellus On Top's 1. Nest also leads on ratings volume (2.6M vs 2) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). Bellus On Top's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
