Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Contera Mobile at none against Network Analyzer's shown. Contera Mobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Network Analyzer's advantage is ratings volume (6.9K vs 14) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
