Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HTTP Injector at 3.9 against IoT OnOff's 3.5. HTTP Injector also leads on ratings volume (48 vs 14). IoT OnOff's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 38%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
