Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CGacela at 2.6 against NICE gomobile's 2.0. CGacela also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CGacela holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 95 and 71 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of NICE gomobile's written reviews are positive against 11% of CGacela's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NICE gomobile ships an update every 5 months, CGacela every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
