Hostname resolution is only available when the LAN gateway is used as the DNS server. - Widgets are updated only at scheduled intervals (e.g. every 5 minutes), so they can show outdated info. Open the app to get info updated in real time. - Data usage widget, full featured network state widgets and lock screen widgets are available only with the Pro upgrade

Verdict
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.
