WiFi Manager helps you understand your current connection and find devices that respond on your local network. SEE YOUR CONNECTION View the active network interface, local IP addresses, subnet, router address, and available public IP information. Reveal your Wi-Fi name and BSSID when you choose to allow access. DISCOVER LOCAL DEVICES Scan your connected IPv4 network or set a custom address range. Results appear as devices respond. Open a result to inspect how it was found, plus any available hostname or port information. Devices that do not respond may not appear. CHECK CONNECTIVITY Ping a device to chart response times and see the latest, minimum, average, and maximum latency, along with packet loss. Scan common ports, choose custom ports, or check the full TCP port range. CONNECT WITH A TCP CONSOLE Connect to a service on a selected local device, send text, and view any response. Console traffic is unencrypted; use it only with services you recognize.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WIFI Manager at none against NetScan's 2. WIFI Manager also leads on ads (none vs shown). NetScan's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 34 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
