Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IP Scanner at 4.6 against ZenMap's 2.0. IP Scanner also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 25%) and ratings volume (891 vs 4). ZenMap's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
