Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Netchex at 4.5 against Provision's 2.9. Netchex also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (58% vs 21%). Provision's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (454 vs 72). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Netchex holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.9.

Provision ships an update fortnightly, Netchex every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
