Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Nimbalyst at Free against OnlyWidget's $0.99. Nimbalyst also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). OnlyWidget's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
