# Pi vs NTP Inspector

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NTP Inspector at none against Pi's 7. NTP Inspector also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Pi's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). 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. NTP Inspector asks for nothing beyond the download.

NTP Inspector holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pi has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Pi's written reviews are positive against 100% of NTP Inspector's.

Pi ships an update every 2 weeks, NTP Inspector monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
