Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: iNet at none against MyPi.'s shown. iNet also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 37) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). MyPi.'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
