Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NX at 58% against Linux NVR Mobile Viewer's 0%. NX also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Linux NVR Mobile Viewer's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
