NetSweep is a personal watchtower for the websites you actually care about. Pin a site and NetSweep inspects its TLS certificate chain, OCSP revocation status, DNS records, HTTP → HTTPS redirect, security headers, HSTS preload eligibility, Certificate Transparency logs, and matching public CVEs one polished report per host. It keeps watch in the background and sends a local notification 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before a certificate expires, so you're never caught off guard. Open the app and only what changed is surfaced: renewed certs, new CVE matches, fingerprint changes that could signal a hijack. Everything runs on your device. No accounts, no ads, no trackers. The only network requests are the ones a browser would make to the hosts you pinned, plus a public IP lookup, a connection-speed estimate, and CVE search. FEATURES • Deep per-host security inspection • Background cert-expiry alerts (local only) • Live spatial map of your trust surface • Connection quality testing • Tags + health dashboard • Portable JSON watchlist export • Private by design

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetSweep at none against Map Marker's 1. NetSweep also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Map Marker's advantage is ratings volume (343 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
