# Network Sniffer vs GLview Pro

The clearest difference is rating: GLview Pro at 5.0 against Network Sniffer's 4.5. Network Sniffer's advantage is ratings volume (188 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Network Sniffer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GLview Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GLview Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Sniffer has 188 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Network Sniffer ships an update every 3 weeks, GLview Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
