TuioPad is an open source TUIO tracker for iOS devices such as the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, which allows multi-touch remote control based on the TUIO protocol. This app is available free of charge and can be used in conjunction with any TUIO enabled client application. Its source code is also available under the terms of the GPL and therefore can be freely used for the creation of open source TUIO enabled mobile applications. Apart from that the TuioPad is also a useful tool for the development and testing of TUIO 1.1 client implementations. You can find further information about the TUIO protocol and the various TUIO enabled application environments at the TUIO.org portal.

The only network utility application you will ever need: 1) UDP Send and/or receive datagrams in both string and hexadecimal format. You can send the datagrams to another instance of the application, a server that is set up to receive datagrams or to the same instance of the application. If you are receiving datagrams, you can specify any valid port to bind to. 2) TCP TCP Mode supports two (2) submodes: 1) TCP Client and TCP Server. TCP Client allows you to to connect to a TCP Server via specifying the remote host and port the server is operating on. Once connected, messages can be sent to the server; any responses will be displayed in the output view. 2) TCP Server allows you to create an instance of a tcp server operating on a port that is user configurable. Once one or more clients connect, messages can be sent to the set of connected clients. All responses from the client will be displayed in the output view. Messages and responses can be a utf8 string or raw data in hexadecimal (go to settings to configure format). 3) REST REST mode supports four (4) request method/verbs: GET, POST, PUT,DELETE. In 'GET' mode, given a url, will display the output in output view. In 'POST' and 'PUT' mode, given a url and a body (e.g. parameters), the output will be displayed in the output view. In all cases, the output can be formatted in RAW or JSON. JSON builder feature to easily build the request body is available if POST/PUT is selected. 4) Network Scanner Scan a single or a range of IP Addresses. Optionally, test if a port is open. Response of scan includes number of packets sent, received, lost, response time and status of port. By going to Settings/Info, you can specify the timeout period for ping and port scans. • Current private and public IP Address available in Settings/Info tab. • Network interfaces available in Settings/Info tab.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UDP/TCP/REST Network Utility at 4.4 against TuioPad's 3.0. UDP/TCP/REST Network Utility also leads on update cadence (every 37 months vs every 75 months) and ratings volume (38 vs 10). TuioPad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
