Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Knowledge Snack at Free against N3's $9.99. Knowledge Snack also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 25 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). N3's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
