Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Timerlayer at none against Nu's shown. Timerlayer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nu sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Timerlayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
