Web Toolbox will help you keep an eye on your sites and web servers. With a few simple steps you can set up automated checks on the responses and content of your web pages. You will be able to run them individually or in batches whenever you want directly from your iPhone and iPad without any subscription. You will be able to configure different types of automated checks: - HTTP Status Code: Indicate the expected HTTP status code, if the code obtained is different the check will fail. - HTTP Header: You will be able to indicate the name of an HTTP header whose content you want to check, you will be able to do an exact check or search for a string within the value. - Content: You will be able to search for an HTML element within the page by indicating its CSS selector and check its content. - Custom JavaScript: Finally you will be able to run a JavaScript script within the page and check its result. You will also be able to decide whether to run the checks on the simple textual response of your web page, or to render the page in a real web browser. To help you identify issues on your websites, Web Toolbox includes several tools: - DNS: A DNS client that will allow you to query DNS servers in your local or remote network with the most popular preconfigured ones (Google DNS, OpenDNS, Cloudflare) - GeoIP: This tool will allow you visually to pinpoint the geographic location of any IP address, as well as obtain other information about the address such as the ISP - Whois: A completely revised Whois client to allow you to access domain name information more easily. In addition to the classic text response, for most Whois servers, you will have access to a tabular mode that will make the domain data more readable and usable.

FEATURES OVERVIEW - Supports Cellular and Wi-Fi Interfaces The app supports monitoring of cellular and Wi-Fi interfaces, including eSIMs. - Flexible Configuration Create tracking plans that fit your needs. — Rolling Window Track data usage within rolling number of days. For example, if you need to keep tracking 10 GB within the last 3 days. — Rollover Data Automatically move unused data to the next cycle. - Multiple Plans Create as many tracking plans as needed. - Widgets Stay on top of your data usage with clear & intuitive Home & Lock screen widgets. - Notifications Configure notifications for getting reminders about reaching daily or cycle limits. - Autonomous With the needed setup completed correctly, you do not need to open the app, and it will still track the data correctly. WHAT THE APP CAN'T DO While many features are supported, and the app provides the best tracking of network data usage possible, there are still limitations imposed by iOS. - Multiple SIM or eSIMs Data Plan cannot automatically track data usage for multiple SIMs / eSIMs at the same time. Currently, iOS does not allow that. You can still track data per SIM / eSIM, if you allow one SIM / eSIM connection at a time. This can be configured in the Device Settings. - Roaming Data Plan cannot automatically track when you go roaming. This might be possible in the future with location-based tracking. FREE TRIAL Because the app essentially offers one main feature, it requires being on a paid plan. When installing the app, everyone is entitled to a 7-day trial, and the app sends a notification 2 days before the trial expires.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Web Toolbox at 83% against Data Plan's 33%. Web Toolbox also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.4) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Data Plan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
