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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ericsson NetCloud Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ericsson NetCloud Mobile has 549 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Router Utility's written reviews are positive against 27% of Ericsson NetCloud Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
