Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NoMachine at none against Daytile's 3. NoMachine also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.5). Daytile's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 7 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
