Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Network Utility at 81% against Internet Quality's 19%. Network Utility also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (625 vs 3). Internet Quality's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
