NetGlance

NetGlance puts your live network speed in the tray, so a glance at the top of your iPhone tells you exactly what your connection is doing — without opening anything. Two arrows, two numbers. The green up arrow sits in the top-left, the blue down arrow in the top-right — upload and download, updated every second in KB/s, MB/s, or GB/s automatically. The direction that's actively moving data lights up, so one glance tells you whether you're uploading, downloading, or idle. Built to stay out of your way: • LIVE UP & DOWN — Real-time upload and download rates, smoothed so they're readable instead of jittery. • Runs as a Live Activity. The compact up/down arrows appear in the tray on iPhone 14 Pro and later; on every supported iPhone the same live meter shows on the Lock Screen. Touch and hold for an expanded view with exact speeds. • SMART UNITS — Switches between KB/s, MB/s, and GB/s on its own. • BATTERY-FRIENDLY — When your network goes quiet, NetGlance freezes its display and stops working. No busy loops, no wasted CPU. • A CLEAN APP SCREEN — Open NetGlance for big upload/download cards and connection status. NetGlance Pro — one-time purchase Unlock everything with a single purchase. No subscription, ever. • SESSION & PEAK STATS — Total data moved this session, plus your fastest upload and download speeds. • CUSTOM THEMES — Recolor the meter with Aqua, Sunset, Grape, or Mono. • PAY ONCE — Unlock forever, and restore free on your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Private by design: NetGlance reads only your device's own interface counters. It has no accounts and no tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NetGlance at none against Dynamic X's shown. NetGlance also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
