Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Network Status Checker at 5.0 against WebMeter's 4.2. WebMeter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebMeter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Network Status Checker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Network Status Checker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebMeter has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
WebMeter ships an update weekly, Network Status Checker every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
