# Network Utility vs Internet Quality

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Network Utility at 81% against Internet Quality's 19%. Network Utility also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (625 vs 3). Internet Quality's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Network Utility sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Internet Quality sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Network Utility holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Utility has 625 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Network Utility's written reviews are positive against 19% of Internet Quality's.

Network Utility ships an update every 2 months, Internet Quality fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
