From the security point of view the most obvious difference to me is that Nitrokey contains a secure element while Secalot doesn't. (Secalot contains a microprocessor with cryptographic acceleration but don't confuse this with a secure element.) Secure elements are secure key stores which protect against extraction of cryptographic keys by malware and by physical attackers.

Also Secalot seems to be a small project while Nitrokey is a (small) company, which might influence quality of security and maintenance too.

Interesting. That is a definitive plus for Nitrokey indeed. I wonder if they plan on creating a version that supports PGP and U2F.

I really like the Nitrokey pro version, it is pretty much everything I need except for the U2F.

Yes, a Nitrokey with OpenPGP Card and FIDO is planned. You can get notified directly by subscribing its newsletter at https://www.nitrokey.com/newsletter

Any planned realease date? I'm considering waiting for the release of it.
