Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tempra at 100% against Nova Empire's 47%. Tempra also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Nova Empire's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 69 months) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
