# Wifi vs NetScan

The clearest difference is rating: NetScan at 4.3 against Wifi's 3.0. NetScan also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (94 vs 5). Wifi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Wifi asks for nothing beyond the download.

NetScan holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetScan has 94 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.

Wifi ships an update every 18 months, NetScan monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
