Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Klipper | OctoPrint at none against Network Scanner's shown. Klipper | OctoPrint also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and chart position (#172 vs unranked). Network Scanner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
