Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Rest at Free against Xnettool's $9.99. Rest also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). Xnettool's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Rest is free to download; Xnettool costs $9.99 up front. Rest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Xnettool asks for nothing beyond the download.
Rest holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rest has 95 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Rest's written reviews are positive against 100% of Xnettool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rest ships an update every 2 weeks, Xnettool every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
