Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NYIS at 100% against Tesla's 61%. NYIS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Tesla's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (126K vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
