Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deep Whois at 85% against URL Safety Scanner's 33%. Deep Whois also leads on ratings volume (172 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). URL Safety Scanner's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

URL Safety Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deep Whois has 172 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Deep Whois's written reviews are positive against 33% of URL Safety Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Deep Whois ships an update every 4 months, URL Safety Scanner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
