Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Primrows+ at none against Nodes's shown. Primrows+ also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Nodes's advantage is ratings volume (392 vs 18) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
