Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Verticus at Free against Wrist Nebula's $3.99. Verticus also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 8) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 13.0). Wrist Nebula's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
