Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Network at 5.0 against NetScan's 4.3. My Network also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). NetScan's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 8%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NetScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. My Network asks for nothing beyond the download.
My Network holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetScan has 94 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of My Network's written reviews are positive against 50% of NetScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Network ships an update every 6 months, NetScan monthly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
