Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NightMeow at none against Focopia's shown. NightMeow also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Focopia's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
