Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iCurlHTTP at none against Network Kit's 3. iCurlHTTP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (30 vs 4). Network Kit's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 7 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
