Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WebMeter at none against NetScan's shown. WebMeter also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and review sentiment (70% vs 50%). NetScan's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 18). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NetScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and WebMeter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for NetScan against 4.2 for WebMeter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetScan has 94 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of NetScan's written reviews are positive against 70% of WebMeter's.
NetScan ships an update monthly, WebMeter weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
