Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iNet Pro at 4.7 against IT Tools's 4.3. iNet Pro also leads on ratings volume (738 vs 18) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). IT Tools's advantage is price ($5.99 vs $9.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iNet Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNet Pro has 738 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of iNet Pro's written reviews are positive against 93% of IT Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iNet Pro ships an update every 5 weeks, IT Tools every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
