Oh, interesting! As someone who's been using both Neocities and Nekoweb for a while now, I'm definitely curious to see what your thoughts are on comparing the two. Bookmarking to read later :)
My initial thought is that Nekoweb is a upgrade in almost every technical aspect - only lacking the social media functions of Neocities (which is a huge part of why people use it!). Do you have any opinions having used both sites? :D
I've been using Neocities for about two years now and Nekoweb for just over a year. Honestly if I had to choose between them I'd pick Neocities without any hesitation. For me, it doesn't have anything to do with the social media side of the site, as I rarely ever venture over to that side of things. I just genuinely prefer how Neocities functions, its website editor, the more polished feel of it, and the features you get for the price you're paying. (I bought paid tier accounts on both, but kept the Neocities one and dropped back to free tier for Nekoweb.) Also, when I do need to turn to the community for questions/advice, I've found in my own experience that the Neocities community is much easier for me to talk to than the Nekoweb group, but that's just a personal preference.
Oooh very interesting! It seemed to me from the outside that the Nekoweb paid features were a whole lot more than Neocities (for half the price) :P Like the extra storage space, the FTP stuff, the SSG stuff.... Or the web editor having syntax highlighting?
But I can see how Neocities would be more polished since it's been around for so much longer. And yeah Nekoweb seems to already have its base clique of users who are all friends with each other already - while Neocities seems more open for random conversation!
💖 Hope it's useful! I would honestly make sites on both sites to take advantage of each of their features! (experimentation with nekoweb, and something I want comments on with neocities)

I don't use either, but I love to compare features and TOS haha. These two were kinda funny to compare cuz Nekoweb advertises itself as better :P
