Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NookGrid at none against Daily Numbers's 2. NookGrid also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Daily Numbers's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
