Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NBL at none against Strafe Esports's 3. NBL also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Strafe Esports's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 30%) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 10). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strafe Esports sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. NBL asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Strafe Esports against 4.8 for NBL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strafe Esports has 3.9K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Strafe Esports's written reviews are positive against 30% of NBL's.
Strafe Esports ships an update every 9 days, NBL fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
