Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CERV at 100% against EcoNet's 16%. CERV also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and device support (3 vs 1). EcoNet's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CERV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.

Written reviews point the same way: 100% of CERV's written reviews are positive against 16% of EcoNet's.
