Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Mesh at none against NetSpot WiFi Analyzer's 3. My Mesh also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 15%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.5). NetSpot WiFi Analyzer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (3.7 vs 3.5). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
