Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: anyPWA at 5.0 against Nomoads's 4.1. anyPWA also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Nomoads's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

anyPWA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nomoads has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Nomoads ships an update fortnightly, anyPWA every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
