# Hyperest vs Network Sniffer

The clearest difference is rating: Network Sniffer at 4.5 against Hyperest's 4.1. Network Sniffer also leads on ratings volume (188 vs 7) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). Hyperest's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyperest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Network Sniffer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Network Sniffer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Sniffer has 188 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hyperest ships an update every 4 days, Network Sniffer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
