# Network Utility vs ETConnect

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ETConnect at none against Network Utility's 1. ETConnect also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Network Utility's advantage is ratings volume (626 vs 1) and review sentiment (81% vs 67%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Network Utility sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ETConnect asks for nothing beyond the download.

ETConnect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Utility has 626 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Network Utility's written reviews are positive against 67% of ETConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
