Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReCat at none against NOMO's 4. ReCat also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.4). NOMO's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (126 vs 17). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
