Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetTime at none against Server Checker's 2. NetTime also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.0). Server Checker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
