NetSpot WiFi Analyzer vs Netti

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.

Netti is a modern network utility where technology and design come together. Powerful networking tools no longer have to feel complicated — Netti makes them accessible, intuitive, and genuinely pleasant to use. Analyze your network, test its performance, and understand how your device connects to the internet. Monitor Wi-Fi, Cellular, Ethernet, VPN, and iCloud Private Relay, verify IP masking, identify your ISP, and discover the external IP address used by each connection. Netti can also monitor your connection in the background. Internet Connectivity Checker detects when internet access is lost or restored, Security Network Checker tracks VPN and iCloud Private Relay protection, and Network Status Checker monitors changes between Wi-Fi, Cellular, and Ethernet. 1. VPN VPN is now built directly into Netti. Establish a secure VPN connection without leaving the app and protect your network traffic while connected to the internet. Netti integrates VPN with its existing network analysis tools, allowing you to see how your connection changes when VPN protection is active and verify the external IP address used by the VPN connection. 2. Speed Test Speed Test gives you a clear and direct way to measure network performance. It helps you understand connection quality, throughput, latency, and responsiveness through both local network and external internet testing. Local Network Testing Measure how quickly devices exchange data within your local network. This helps reveal the real performance of your router, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection, and connected devices — independently of your internet connection. External Internet Testing Measure real-world internet performance using a global network of public test servers. Netti currently provides access to 190 servers across 60 countries, giving you a broader view of your internet connection and its performance across different locations. Premium Servers For more consistent and reliable testing, Netti also includes a selection of Premium Servers. This feature is currently in preview and available to everyone. 3. System Transfer Benchmark Measure your device's internal data-transfer performance without involving the network. This benchmark reflects the efficiency of your device's network stack, CPU, memory bus, and overall data path, making it useful for comparing device performance. It can also help estimate the maximum transfer speeds your device can sustain under ideal network conditions, where the network itself is not the limiting factor. 4. Network Information Get a detailed view of how your device connects to the network and the internet. Netti can also help verify whether VPN or iCloud Private Relay is active and whether your external IP address is being masked as expected. Available information includes: - Local IP address - External IP address - IP address location - Internet Service Provider (ISP) - Network equipment manufacturer, when available Information can be analyzed across Wi-Fi, Cellular, Ethernet, VPN, and iCloud Private Relay connections. 5. Ping Check whether a server is reachable and measure its response time. Choose a test duration of 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 minutes, or indefinitely. Results are available as either a visual graph or a detailed text log for deeper technical analysis. 6. Trace Route See the path network packets take from your device to a remote server. Trace Route can help identify latency, packet loss, and problematic nodes along the route. Results can be explored in two ways: visually on a map, or through a detailed text log for technical analysis. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
