IP Tools by BigDataCloud is a practical toolkit for checking IP addresses, networks, and internet routing information from your iPhone. Look up IPv4 and IPv6 address details, inspect ASN information, browse announced prefixes, check connectivity, resolve DNS records, ping hosts, and view estimated IP geolocation with confidence areas on the map. IP Address History can track how your public address changes over time, including IPv4 and IPv6, so you can understand connection changes while you move between Wi-Fi, mobile data, VPN, and other network paths. IP Tools can also help BigDataCloud improve IP geolocation quality by submitting optional anonymous location signals. The app is designed to report network and location observations about IP addresses, not personal profile information.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IP Tools at none against DR's 2. IP Tools also leads on ads (none vs shown). DR's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
