What is the benefit of Net Optimizer? - Find & Connect the fastest DNS server based on your location & network. - Improve web surfing speed with faster response time. - Fix lag and reduce latency (ping time) on online games for a better gaming experience. Features - Just one touch to find & connect the fastest DNS server to improve your connection. - Automatically detect connection changes and optimize the network. - Works for both mobile data (3G/4G/5G) and WiFi connection - Supports many different DNS Servers (Cloudflare, Level3, Verisign, Google, DNS Watch, Comodo Secure, OpenDNS, SafeDNS, OpenNIC, SmartViper, Dyn, FreeDNS, Alternate DNS, Yandex DNS, UncensoredDNS, puntCAT, and more) How it works? If you have a high-speed Internet connection but notice that your web browsing speed isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, then your problem may lie in the DNS. By optimizing your device's DNS records, you can find the fastest routes for your data packets to take when traveling the Internet. It won’t boost to your download/upload speed, but in some cases it can result in quite a noticeable improvement in web browsing time. At times, you may experience slow hiccups while trying to use the internet from your device. Sometimes, these problems can be attributed to your provider's DNS settings because your ISP may not always have the best DNS server speeds. Your default DNS server directly affects how fast you’ll be able to connect to a website. So choosing the fastest server according to your location will help speed up browsing. With Net Optimizer, you can find the fastest DNS server and connect to it with just one touch! So your browsing speed and gaming experience (ping and latency) can be improved. (But you should remember that DNS settings will not affect your internet download / upload speed but response time) Results Test results showed a 132.1 percent improvement from using Google's DNS servers over using the stock DNS servers, but in real world usage, it might not be exactly that much faster. Still, this one tweak might get you finally feeling like you have a blazing connection to the internet!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GearUP Router at none against Net Optimizer's shown. GearUP Router also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 70%). Net Optimizer's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 67) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases 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. Net Optimizer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and GearUP Router sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Net Optimizer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Net Optimizer has 3.1K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Net Optimizer's written reviews are positive against 86% of GearUP Router's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Net Optimizer ships an update every 3 weeks, GearUP Router fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
