Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: E at 5.0 against Nextin's 3.8. E also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Nextin's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
