Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vectorworks Nomad at 2.3 against TM's 1.0. Vectorworks Nomad also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). TM's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
