# NetScan vs PingKit

The clearest difference is rating: PingKit at 5.0 against NetScan's 4.3. PingKit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). NetScan's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PingKit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PingKit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetScan has 94 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

NetScan ships an update monthly, PingKit every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
