# Detectir vs Network Status Checker

The clearest difference is rating: Network Status Checker at 5.0 against Detectir's 4.4. Detectir's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Detectir sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per 7 days 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 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Detectir has 185 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Detectir ships an update every 9 days, Network Status Checker every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
