Priv8Scout turns your iPhone into a network field scout. See what's on your Wi-Fi, catch the device you don't recognize, find out why something's slow, scan a room in 3D, and do it all without handing your data to anyone. SEE YOUR NETWORK • Connection Info — IPv4 and IPv6, subnet, gateway, DNS, interface, SSID, BSSID, public IP, ISP and ASN • Scan Network — finds devices on your LAN using Bonjour, TCP sweep and ICMP, so it still works when devices refuse to answer a ping • MAC address and maker for devices on your local network (iOS 27 or later) • New tags — a device that isn't in any of your saved projects is marked New, with a "Show only new" switch • Devices that sleep through a scan can still be listed, greyed out and marked "didn't answer" • Each device shows when it was first recorded and last seen • Port scanning with Quick, Standard, Thorough and Custom profiles • Service detection that identifies SSH, RDP, HTTP, SMB and more on whatever port they're actually running on • Scan history with side-by-side diffs — see exactly what changed between visits MAP A SPACE • Site Survey — build a floor plan from a photo, a PDF, or a sketch, then calibrate the scale • LiDAR room scanning on supported Pro iPhone models — walls, doors and windows arrive to scale as editable vector objects, with the 3D model kept • Place and label access point markers while you're standing in front of them MEASURE AND DIAGNOSE • Speed Test — throughput, latency, gateway ping and DNS timing • Compared with your usual — each test sits next to your earlier ones on the same network, on a chart that marks the drops, with a plain warning when something changes (like your upload quietly falling by half) • DNS Benchmark — finds the fastest DNS server, and tells you if the one you use has slowed down or changed • Signal Quality — a live relative Wi-Fi quality reading for finding dead spots • Ping, Traceroute, DNS Lookup, WHOIS, TLS/SSL Inspector, HTTP Client, Telnet/Raw TCP, Subnet Calculator, MAC Vendor Lookup KEEP AND SHARE • Projects for each client and location, with reports that call out speed drops, DNS changes and new devices • Color-Blind Friendly mode — red-green safe colors on signal grades, status colors and charts. Turn it on per client too, so the reports you hand over use it • CSV and JSON export PRIVACY, NOT AS A FEATURE BULLET No accounts. No analytics. No telemetry. No ads. No third-party SDKs that phone home. We don't collect or use your data, and we don't run servers that could see it. Your data stays on your device. iCloud sync uses your own private iCloud database — Apple's encryption, not ours, and not visible to us. You can turn it off in Settings. Apart from iCloud sync, the only request the app makes on its own is a public-IP lookup, so it can show your WAN address and ISP. Everything else happens only when you start it. HONEST ABOUT WHAT iOS CAN'T DO iOS doesn't give apps like this a scan of nearby Wi-Fi networks or raw sockets, and MAC addresses need iOS 27 or later. Signal readings here are a relative quality measure, not measured signal strength, which needs radio access iOS doesn't grant. Where a number is approximate, we say so. WORKS WITH PRIV8SCOUT WORKBENCH FOR MAC The iPhone is the scout; the Mac is the workbench. Capture floor plans and LiDAR room scans in the field here, then move to Priv8Scout Workbench on your Mac for nearby-network scanning, true signal-strength survey sampling, heat maps and client reports.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CloudClip at none against Priv8Scout's 1. CloudClip also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Priv8Scout's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
