# Flick. vs Network Toolbox Net security

The clearest difference is rating: Network Toolbox Net security at 4.6 against Flick.'s 3.8. Network Toolbox Net security also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 16). Flick.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flick. sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Network Toolbox Net security sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Network Toolbox Net security holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8.
