# IT Tools vs Network Utility Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Network Utility Pro at 4.6 against IT Tools's 4.3. Network Utility Pro also leads on price ($2.99 vs $5.99) and ratings volume (189 vs 18). IT Tools's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

IT Tools costs $5.99 and Network Utility Pro $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Network Utility Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Utility Pro has 189 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of IT Tools's written reviews are positive against 82% of Network Utility Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

IT Tools ships an update every 4 months, Network Utility Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
