Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MySmartfren at 4.7 against Prolink mWiFi's 2.5. MySmartfren also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (356 vs 24). Prolink mWiFi's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
