# Klipper | OctoPrint vs Network Scanner

The clearest difference is ads: Klipper | OctoPrint at none against Network Scanner's shown. Klipper | OctoPrint also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 173). Network Scanner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Klipper | OctoPrint sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month and Network Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
