Features
Read full description

This app shows all websites in the local network which advertise themselves using the "bonjour" (DNS-SD) protocol. Clicking on an entry passes the URL to Safari for displaying the website. Note that the only purpose of this app is to quickly access configuration websites for example of local printers or IoT gadgets. The app does not list services other than http, and is not meant to be a full featured network services browser (there are already good apps for that). The app is in the AppStore for your convenience and as a way to support its development a bit, but it is open sourced on github, so you're welcome to get it from there and also to contribute enhancements!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LocalSites at none against BlueSpy's 7. LocalSites also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.0). BlueSpy's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 23 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
