Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SBN Inspect+ at 4.5 against Utilisphere's 1.6. Utilisphere's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (40 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SBN Inspect+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Utilisphere has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SBN Inspect+'s written reviews are positive against 8% of Utilisphere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SBN Inspect+ ships an update every 3 months, Utilisphere every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
