Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NonoQuest at 100% against Pirate Dice's 20%. NonoQuest also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). Pirate Dice's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
