# iNet vs Sensor

The clearest difference is rating: iNet at 4.5 against Sensor's 4.0. iNet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 4). Sensor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sensor asks for nothing beyond the download.

iNet holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNet has 2.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of iNet's written reviews are positive against 56% of Sensor's.

iNet ships an update every 5 weeks, Sensor every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
