Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IP Scanner at 4.6 against WS66i's 2.8. IP Scanner also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 38%) and ratings volume (893 vs 17). WS66i's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
