# Pi vs Netdata Mobile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pi at 89% against Netdata Mobile's 9%. Pi also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.2) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 18). Netdata Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pi sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Netdata Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pi holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pi has 1.2K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Pi's written reviews are positive against 9% of Netdata Mobile's.

Pi ships an update every 2 weeks, Netdata Mobile every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
