Verdict

The call

My Automower's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (29% vs 15%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NetSpot WiFi Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetSpot WiFi Analyzer has 354 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of My Automower's written reviews are positive against 15% of NetSpot WiFi Analyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Automower ships an update every 12 months, NetSpot WiFi Analyzer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
