Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: XIOTerm at none against Network Servers's shown. XIOTerm also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Network Servers's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
