# NetUtils vs NAS Pro

The clearest difference is rating: NetUtils at 5.0 against NAS Pro's 4.3. NetUtils also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). NAS Pro's advantage is ratings volume (174 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetUtils sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and NAS Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NetUtils holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NAS Pro has 174 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of NetUtils's written reviews are positive against 58% of NAS Pro's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
