Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CIDR Calc at none against Subnet Plus's 1. CIDR Calc also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Subnet Plus's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (57 vs 1). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
