Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Senturo at none against IP Scanner's 2. Senturo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26). IP Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (887 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
