Worms™ 4's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Worms™ 4 costs $4.99 and Nexomon $0.99 up front. Worms™ 4 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Nexomon sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
