Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nozoku Rush at none against Hexiled's 1. Nozoku Rush also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and price ($1.99 vs $3.99). Hexiled's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 39 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Nozoku Rush costs $1.99 and Hexiled $3.99 up front. Hexiled sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Nozoku Rush asks for nothing beyond the download.
Nozoku Rush holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hexiled has 416 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Nozoku Rush's written reviews are positive against 90% of Hexiled's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nozoku Rush ships an update every 39 months, Hexiled every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
