ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NetSpot WiFi Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetSpot WiFi Analyzer has 337 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of NetSpot WiFi Analyzer's written reviews are positive against 25% of Earzz monitors's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NetSpot WiFi Analyzer ships an update every 2 weeks, Earzz monitors every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
