The Starter Pack is coins, hints, and the After Hours nook. No accounts. Progress stays on this iPhone or iPad. Apple handles every purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Last Thing at none against Nook Sort's shown. The Last Thing also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
