# Network Scanner vs UDP TCP Network Utility

The clearest difference is rating: UDP TCP Network Utility at 5.0 against Network Scanner's 4.4. Network Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Network Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and UDP TCP Network Utility sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UDP TCP Network Utility holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Scanner has 168 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Network Scanner's written reviews are positive against 50% of UDP TCP Network Utility's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Network Scanner ships an update every 2 weeks, UDP TCP Network Utility every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
