# Deep Whois vs iNetTools

The clearest difference is ratings volume: iNetTools at 5.7K against Deep Whois's 172. Deep Whois's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deep Whois sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and iNetTools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Deep Whois against 4.6 for iNetTools. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNetTools has 5.7K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Deep Whois's written reviews are positive against 68% of iNetTools's.

Deep Whois ships an update every 4 months, iNetTools every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
