Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: IT Tools at free against iNetTools's paid. IT Tools also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 67%). iNetTools's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (347 vs 18). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
IT Tools costs $5.99 and iNetTools $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iNetTools holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNetTools has 347 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 67% of iNetTools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
