Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Netchex at 4.5 against Tekion's 1.9. Netchex also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 18%). Tekion's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (409 vs 72). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
