Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Room Survey at none against NCS+'s shown. Room Survey also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). NCS+'s advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
