Verdict

The call

PURE and Nymph both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Nymph's written reviews are positive against 29% of PURE's. Nymph also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). PURE's advantage is ratings volume (87K vs 1.6K) and chart position (#7 vs #51). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
