Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Birdy Trip at none against Nom Cat's shown. Birdy Trip also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Nom Cat's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 178). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
