Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetTools at none against SMS Verification's 1. NetTools also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). SMS Verification's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
