Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: NowLoading at Free against Build's $7.99. NowLoading also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Build's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
