Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NETFCU at 100% against BrightBridge CU's 38%. NETFCU also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). BrightBridge CU's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 95) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
