MiniStatus can show the status of supported pro audio devices in one view, including RF signal, RF timeline, level meter, battery, name, IP, etc. Supported devices: - Shure AD4Q, AD4D, AXT400, ULXD4Q, ULXD4D, ULXD4, QLXD4, UR4D, UR4S, P10T, SBCxxx, SBRC, AXT900 - Sennheiser Digital 6000, EM3732-II, EM 300 G4, EM 500 G4, EM 300 G3, EM 500 G3, EM 2000, EM 2050 - Sennheiser SR IEM G4, SR 300 IEM G3, SR 2000 IEM, SR 2050 IEM - Yamaha Rio, Tio series stage boxes - Coda LINUS10, LINUS14, LINUSCON - L-acoustics LA12X, LA4X - Lake LM44, LM26 - Dante - QLab v4 - ICMP Ping Most devices could be automatically discovered over LAN. You may optionally save them to the Saved Devices list so you can sort them as you like. You may also use that list to manually add devices in another VLAN or over the Internet. MiniStatus doesn't control any device by any mean. You will need their own software to control them. MiniStatus won't conflict with these software either, you may use them at the same time. You can use MiniStatus with no limitation for 3 minutes after launch. After 3 minutes, all items will be locked except for the first 4. You can restart MiniStatus to get another 3 minutes whenever you want. As a pro monitoring tool, MiniStatus does not run in the background and it will prevent your device from sleeping. Notes: - Sennheiser EW series are not tested with actual devices. Their info may be incorrect. - Similarly, if you are experiencing any issue, willing to give any idea or seeking for more device support, please feel free to contact me at yuuhei@audio.ninja.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JBL Performance at none against MiniStatus's 4. MiniStatus's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
