Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Net at 5.0 against Ping's 4.3. Net also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Ping's advantage is ratings volume (376 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ping sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Net sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Net holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ping has 376 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Ping ships an update every 3 months, Net fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
