Both are free to download. NetSpot WiFi Analyzer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Aura Air asks for nothing beyond the download.
NetSpot WiFi Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetSpot WiFi Analyzer has 355 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Aura Air's written reviews are positive against 15% of NetSpot WiFi Analyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Aura Air ships an update every 4 weeks, NetSpot WiFi Analyzer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
