Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DonutCat at none against Nom Cat's shown. DonutCat also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). Nom Cat's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 26). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
