# iNet vs Subnet Mask

The clearest difference is ads: iNet at none against Subnet Mask's shown. iNet also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 31) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). Subnet Mask's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Subnet Mask 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 iNet against 4.6 for Subnet Mask. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNet has 2.5K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of iNet's written reviews are positive against 100% of Subnet Mask's.

iNet ships an update every 5 weeks, Subnet Mask every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
