The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: xLite at none against Network Servers's 1. xLite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.3 vs 15.0). Network Servers's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
