Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nice Kicks at none against Sneaker Crush's 4. Nice Kicks also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Sneaker Crush's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (120K vs 11K). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
