Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EtherFantasy at none against Nightmare's shown. EtherFantasy also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
