# IP Scanner vs Telefant

The clearest difference is rating: Telefant at 5.0 against IP Scanner's 4.6. Telefant also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26). IP Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (891 vs 2) and device support (6 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IP Scanner sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Telefant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Telefant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Scanner has 891 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of IP Scanner's written reviews are positive against 75% of Telefant's.
