# RF Path vs NetLogger Companion

The clearest difference is price: NetLogger Companion at Free against RF Path's $2.99. NetLogger Companion also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). RF Path's advantage is chart position (#165 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

NetLogger Companion is free to download; RF Path costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

NetLogger Companion holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetLogger Companion has 34 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of RF Path's written reviews are positive against 44% of NetLogger Companion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RF Path ships an update every 5 months, NetLogger Companion fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
