Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ServerCat at 1K against xInfra's 2. ServerCat also leads on chart position (#77 vs unranked). xInfra's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for ServerCat against 4.5 for xInfra. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerCat has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of ServerCat's written reviews are positive against 100% of xInfra's.
