Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NOLA.Show at 5.0 against Etree Mobile's 4.0. NOLA.Show also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Etree Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (84 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
