Giist
Read full descriptionHide full description
Giist is a groundbreaking new way to share online that gives readers full control of what they see (no opaque algorithm), and writers full control over their posts and the ensuing conversation; it is built from the ground up to minimize trolls, bots and online abuse; it provides a central place to share from all over the web (including other social media); and it encourages knowledge-building by allowing edits, other users to suggest edits, version tracking, a robust user-generated graph of topics, as well as keeping private notes with the same rich formatting and powerful search features. Giist has a freemium model, with free coins given to users daily, and more available for purchase if desired (web only), so it can avoid ads or sharing user information with marketers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NLTags at none against Giist's 1. NLTags also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Giist's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
