Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Nordstrom at 1.5M against Branded Bills's 782. Nordstrom also leads on chart position (#71 vs unranked). Branded Bills's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Nordstrom against 4.9 for Branded Bills.
