Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LoadNest at 5.0 against Convoy's 4.6. LoadNest also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Convoy's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
