# Deep research vs NetProbe

The clearest difference is monetization model: NetProbe at freemium against Deep research's subscription. NetProbe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Deep research's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deep research sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and NetProbe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NetProbe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deep research has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Deep research ships an update every 6 days, NetProbe every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
