Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nova Poker at 100% against 3's 18%. Nova Poker also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 3's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (499 vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
