# LPI App vs NetScan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LPI App at 100% against NetScan's 50%. LPI App also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). NetScan's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (94 vs 4). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. LPI App 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 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of LPI App's written reviews are positive against 50% of NetScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LPI App ships an update every 6 weeks, NetScan monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
