Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SoftServe Pro at 5.0 against Network Ping Lite's 4.4. SoftServe Pro also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Network Ping Lite's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (87% vs 75%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SoftServe Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Ping Lite has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Network Ping Lite's written reviews are positive against 75% of SoftServe Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Network Ping Lite ships an update every 12 months, SoftServe Pro every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
