# PocketPacket vs ifconfig

The clearest difference is price: ifconfig at $0.99 against PocketPacket's $4.99. PocketPacket's advantage is chart position (#184 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

PocketPacket costs $4.99 and ifconfig $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
