Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AIDA64 at 4.6 against NSLookup's 3.0. AIDA64 also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 31) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). NSLookup's advantage is iOS requirement (13.6 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NSLookup sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AIDA64 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AIDA64 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AIDA64 has 2.3K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of NSLookup's written reviews are positive against 47% of AIDA64's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NSLookup ships an update every 9 months, AIDA64 every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
