# Storm Sniffer vs Device Info Tool

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Device Info Tool at none against Storm Sniffer's 7. Device Info Tool also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9). Storm Sniffer's advantage is ratings volume (120 vs 5) and review sentiment (76% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Storm Sniffer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Device Info Tool asks for nothing beyond the download.

Device Info Tool holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storm Sniffer has 120 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Storm Sniffer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Device Info Tool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
