Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Springbase at 5.0 against Nimbus8's 4.8. Springbase also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Nimbus8's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
