# iNet Pro vs Prowl

The clearest difference is price: Prowl at $2.99 against iNet Pro's $9.99. Prowl also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). iNet Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

iNet Pro costs $9.99 and Prowl $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for iNet Pro against 4.6 for Prowl.
