Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LaView at 4.7 against Netvue's 2.5. LaView also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 542) and review sentiment (37% vs 27%). Netvue's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
