# Detector vs My Network

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Detector at 87% against My Network's 8%. Detector also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (558 vs 1). My Network's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

My Network holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Detector has 558 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Detector's written reviews are positive against 8% of My Network's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Detector ships an update every 10 days, My Network every 6 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
