Playing Second Life and you would like to know which of your friends are online before you launch the application? With Second Life Notifier, you can track who's getting online and offline without having to login Second Life. Second Life Notifier doesn't merely display a list of online friends. By extracting the information from the Second Life website, it can maintain its own list of who's online, providing the ability to alert you when one of your friend gets online or offline. Plus, with the optional inworld server that you can buy for only L$500, you can monitor your land, find who is in range, broadcast messages, send messages, eject undesirable people and much more. NOTE: the server is needed to send messages to your friends in Second Life. However, the server is only guaranteed to work on land you purchased directly from Linden Lab. If you purchase land from 3rd parties, it may or it may not work. If you are renting land, it may or may not work. It depends on the permissions given to you by your landlord. Since this is a no-transfer object, no refund will be given. Keep in mind that messages you send to your friends will appear in their main chat window, NOT in the IM window. NOTE: if you're having a problem, please contact us at support@nemesys-soft.com.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Nexus at Free against SL Notifier's $0.99. Nexus also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 4). SL Notifier's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
