Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Net at 5.0 against IP Scanner's 4.6. Net also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26). IP Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (887 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IP Scanner sells 2 one-off in-app purchases 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 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Scanner has 887 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
