# Network Toolbox Net security vs My Cloud OS 5

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Cloud OS 5 at none against Network Toolbox Net security's 12. My Cloud OS 5 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (16K vs 3.3K). Network Toolbox Net security's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Network Toolbox Net security sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. My Cloud OS 5 asks for nothing beyond the download.

My Cloud OS 5 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.3K and 16K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Network Toolbox Net security's written reviews are positive against 51% of My Cloud OS 5's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
