Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Lambert at Free against Network Utility Pro's $2.99. Lambert also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). Network Utility Pro's advantage is ratings volume (189 vs 4). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lambert holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Utility Pro has 189 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Lambert's written reviews are positive against 82% of Network Utility Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lambert ships an update every 5 months, Network Utility Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
