Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Norma Focus at none against Outturn's 3. Norma Focus also leads on ads (none vs shown). Outturn's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
