Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Network Messenger at none against aOK Verifier's shown. Network Messenger also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). aOK Verifier's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
