Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PDF Guru Anki at 4.7 against Net's 4.2. PDF Guru Anki also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Net's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 14) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
