Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Netclicker at 5.0 against Jellyfin Mobile's 4.0. Netclicker also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (60% vs 49%). Jellyfin Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
