# Hodor vs UDP TCP Network Utility

The clearest difference is rating: UDP TCP Network Utility at 5.0 against Hodor's 4.3. Hodor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hodor sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and UDP TCP Network Utility sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UDP TCP Network Utility holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hodor has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Hodor's written reviews are positive against 50% of UDP TCP Network Utility's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hodor ships an update monthly, UDP TCP Network Utility every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
