Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Snopes at 73% against NRA's 21%. Snopes also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (954 vs 59). NRA's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
