PingPoint vs Speedtest
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
PingPoint
Visualize network ping latency on a map to identify areas with the fastest signal. Record ping sessions while navigating to map connectivity along routes or trails. Pings are color-coded to indicate latency from good to poor.

Have you ever wished you could map network latency along a road or trail, but couldn’t find an app for it? PingPoint lets you visualize ping performance on the go in real locations, so you can spot the fastest signal areas while you navigate. Record ping sessions while driving, hiking, or traveling to understand connectivity for a route, trail, or specific area. PingPoint plots each ping on a map as colored blips from green to red, showing good to poor latency. Choose your ping interval and target hosts to test different network conditions and compare results across locations. PingPoint is built for IT professionals, network analysts, road warriors, digital nomads, and anyone technically inclined who wants to measure, diagnose, and graph connectivity while moving. I built PingPoint while living on the road — at the edges of cellular service, I was tired of ping tools that told me how fast my connection was but never where. So I made one that maps it. Common uses: - Find the best connectivity regions by mapping network latency along your route or trail (cellular or mobile hotspot) - Review connection stability over time using the timeline graph (cellular or Wi-Fi) - Map the latency of regions around your home Wi-Fi - Improve responsiveness in congested networks by pinging in the background while using other apps (cellular or mobile hotspot) - Test latency to a host similar to standard network ping tools FEATURES - Link Health tab for a real-time read on connection quality, pairing ICMP ping with a TCP latency probe - Dashboard with live GPS accuracy readings, plus map and graph views for latency testing - Map view showing all pings and latency information at recorded locations - Heatmap mode that composites your pings into smooth latency blobs for clearer coverage at a glance, toggled right on the map - Filter map pings by latency to immediately see faster and slower areas - Session-based results with min, max, mean/average, and round-trip statistics, plus graphs per session - Quick controls to switch ping intervals - Tap an individual map blip to view the recorded latency and GPS accuracy for that ping - Copy coordinates for any ping location - Navigate to any ping location using Apple Maps - Export ping sessions as GPX routes LIMITATIONS - The dashboard timeline graph is not interactive yet - IPv4 only for now (send feedback if you need IPv6 sooner) - Ping packet sizes are not configurable yet (send feedback if you need this sooner) - Location accuracy depends on your device’s built-in GPS and using a third-party GPS receiver can improve accuracy reported to PingPoint. ON THE ROADMAP - Better iPad layouts - macOS compatibility - Improved timeline view with scroll, zoom, and interactivity - More detailed per-ping information and richer session statistics - Additional charts and graphs - Configurable ping packet sizes and payload - Enhanced session organization (naming, tagging, flagging, and more) - Location-based ping intervals (ping only after moving a set distance) - Throughput testing - Apple Watch support PRIVACY POLICY All recorded location data stays offline and encrypted on your device. PingPoint uses no third-party analytics or advertising frameworks, and it does not transmit, distribute, or sell your data. Ever.

"What is Speedtest for? Smart Speedtest is a network tool to quickly and accurately test your internet connection speed on all your iOS mobile devices. The app can test speed for 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, DSL and ADSL. What indicator characterizes the quality of the Internet connection? Ping shows the server response time, measured in milliseconds. The lower the ping rate, the better the internet connection. WiFi Analyzer. Supports advanced tool for network diagnostics, LAN scanning and problem detection. Features of Smart Speedtest: - Test the speed of data download (download) in real time; - Test of data transfer rate (upload) in real time; - Measurement of the delay time for sending packets (ping, latency, jitter); -WiFi Analyzer; - Choice of speed units (Mbps, kbps); - Display of basic information about the connection (IP-address, provider, connection type, WiFi network name); - Automatic configuration of testing algorithms depending on the type of connection (WiFi or mobile networks 2G / 3G / 4G LTE / 5G); - History of results (measured values of download / upload / ping, connection type, date, test parameters); - Simple interface, usability. SUBSCRIPTION: A premium subscription will allow you to use the application without ads, as well as use the basic functions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Speedtest at Free against PingPoint's $4.99. Speedtest also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (53 vs 3). PingPoint's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On device support 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
Speedtest is free to download; PingPoint costs $4.99 up front. Speedtest sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. PingPoint asks for nothing beyond the download.
Speedtest holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedtest has 53 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
PingPoint ships an update every 2 weeks, Speedtest monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
