Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iNet at 77% against Mobile CMS's 31%. iNet also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 7). Mobile CMS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
