Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NOSSCR at none against AdaptiBar's 10. NOSSCR also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). AdaptiBar's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 5). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
