Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BlackSun Net at 5.0 against NodeMint's 3.7. BlackSun Net also leads on ads (none vs shown). NodeMint's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
