NetSpot WiFi Analyzer vs WiFi Explorer Pi

NetSpot 3 delivers powerful WiFi site surveys with internet speed, ping tests and device discovery to iPhone and iPad users. Build realistic WiFi heatmaps right on your iPhone or iPad in minutes, without additional expensive hardware! Analyze and troubleshoot your wireless networks with color-coded interactive heatmaps, very simple to create and interpret. NetSpot, famous for its versatile network tools with millions of business and home users across all platforms, is the only WiFi scanner app with heatmap visualizations on the App Store. Effortlessly manage your Wi-Fi survey projects by organizing them into multiple zones and snapshots for each surveyed area. Flexible configuration settings let you customize the look and feel of your WiFi map and choose the desired gradient to properly highlight areas with high WiFi speed and stable connection, as well as the areas with low WiFi signal that may need improvements. NetSpot’s WiFi speedtest is a great one-tap solution to verify and track performance of your wireless setups over time. NetSpot also offers Ping Tests. A ping test is a great way to check network connectivity for any underlying network issues and measure the latency. High latency may indicate slow or laggy internet, which affects gaming or video calls quality. NetSpot offers a handy Device Discovery mode, which basically turns the app into a network scanner collecting information on all devices connected to your network. It depends on devices, which information can be collected, but in general you can see such data as MAC address, IP address, device names, software and firmware versions, a class of device (e.g. smartphone, smart device or a laptop.), etc. The free version of NetSpot for iOS lets you use Device Discovery mode, as well as test the ping and Internet speed. WiFi Survey mode with heatmaps is available in NetSpot Plus - a one-time in-app purchase.

WiFi Explorer Pi is a Wi-Fi scanner and analyzer designed to help WLAN and IT professionals design, validate, and troubleshoot wireless networks using external sensors. It connects securely to supported mobile sensors—including WLAN Pi Go, Hamina Clip, and Oscium Nomad—as well as other WLAN Pi devices, remote sensors, and compatible custom sensors. It delivers real-time scan results with detailed information about every network it detects. You can tag scans with a location, share them through AirDrop or other apps, and save them for later analysis. Saved scans can be opened in tools like WiFi Explorer Pro 3 or Wireshark for deeper inspection. The app also provides a spectrum view that shows how channels are being used across the band, helping you quickly spot congestion and interference. Filtering includes basic and advanced options. You can filter by band, SSID, BSSID, channel, channel width, security type, Wi-Fi generation, and more. For networks that advertise it, you can also filter by channel utilization and the number of associated stations, making it easier to focus on the networks that matter most. FEATURES • Clean, intuitive interface • Add, manage, and automatically discover local sensors • Support for WLAN Pi Go, Hamina Clip, Oscium Nomad, other WLAN Pi devices, remote sensors, and compatible custom sensors • Support for 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands and 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 MHz channels • Support for Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E, and 7 • Works with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be networks • Visualization of how networks are spread across channels • Basic and advanced filtering options • Manage and share scan results • Light and dark mode support ADVANCED FEATURES • Detailed network capabilities with full information element breakdowns for advanced troubleshooting • Import capture files to view detailed information about networks found in the capture • Configurable checklists for network validation and requirement compliance • Lock to a frequency to locate an AP or measure attenuation • Detection of deauthentication campaigns and tools to help locate their source You must connect a compatible sensor to scan for Wi-Fi networks. Supported options include WLAN Pi Go, Hamina Clip, Oscium Nomad, other WLAN Pi devices, and compatible custom sensors.
