A monitoring system especially useful during visually demanding, network dependent, activities like online gaming. While PingPlotter Mobile is streaming background audio, players can keep their eyes on the game, hear when network performance deteriorates, and take cover before lag negatively effects their experience.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iNetTools at 4.6 against PingPlotter's 3.4. iNetTools also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 36) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). PingPlotter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
