Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nightgate at 83% against Exhausted Man's 59%. Exhausted Man's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (250 vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Exhausted Man sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nightgate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Exhausted Man holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exhausted Man has 250 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Exhausted Man's written reviews are positive against 83% of Nightgate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
