Network Utilities & Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Utilities & Analyzer has 457 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Network Utilities & Analyzer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Pockethernet 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Network Utilities & Analyzer ships an update every 6 weeks, Pockethernet 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
