Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Trickcal at none against Chaos Zero Nightmare's shown. Trickcal also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 66%). Chaos Zero Nightmare's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 923). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Trickcal sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Chaos Zero Nightmare sells 45 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
