Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Namo Buddy at none against Achman's shown. Namo Buddy also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
