Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nudgely Live at 5.0 against Catchup's 4.4. Nudgely Live also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Catchup's advantage is ratings volume (82 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
