Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Redtail Installer at none against NeatPass's 1. Redtail Installer also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.1). NeatPass's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
