Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Network Scanner at 4.5 against Antenna Pointer's 2.8. Network Scanner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 4). Antenna Pointer's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Antenna Pointer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year and Network Scanner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Network Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Scanner has 3.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Antenna Pointer's written reviews are positive against 30% of Network Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Antenna Pointer ships an update every 2 months, Network Scanner every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
