# iNetTools vs IP Scanner

The clearest difference is ads: IP Scanner at none against iNetTools's shown. IP Scanner also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and device support (6 vs 3). iNetTools's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 893) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNetTools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and IP Scanner sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for iNetTools against 4.6 for IP Scanner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNetTools has 5.7K ratings behind it against 893, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of iNetTools's written reviews are positive against 61% of IP Scanner's.

iNetTools ships an update every 3 months, IP Scanner fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
