Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NetScan at 4.3 against Wifi's 3.0. NetScan also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (94 vs 5). Wifi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
