Both are free to download. Ping sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FortiEDR asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ping holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ping has 376 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Ping's written reviews are positive against 100% of FortiEDR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ping ships an update every 3 months, FortiEDR every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
