Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NFRRS at 100% against Appeal's 50%. NFRRS also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). Appeal's advantage is ratings volume (80 vs 1) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Appeal holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Appeal has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Appeal's written reviews are positive against 100% of NFRRS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
