Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: IRD Nepal at every 5 days against Ncell's every 6 weeks. IRD Nepal also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.4). Ncell's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (183 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
IRD Nepal holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ncell has 183 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Ncell's written reviews are positive against 0% of IRD Nepal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ncell ships an update every 6 weeks, IRD Nepal every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
