Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iNetTools at Free against NetSonar's $0.99. iNetTools also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). NetSonar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
