Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Oscilyzer at 4.9 against NoMachine's 3.0. Oscilyzer also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 37%). NoMachine's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 9) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
