Ping Network Tools is an all-in-one network analyzer and ping test toolkit for iPhone. Run a fast connectivity check to any hostname or IP address, trace routes hop-by-hop, perform DNS lookups, scan open ports, check WHOIS records, calculate subnets, and monitor your connection in real time. No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Completely free. 7 NETWORK TOOLS IN ONE APP Ping goes far beyond a basic ping app — it’s a complete mobile network toolkit for Wi-Fi troubleshooting, LAN diagnostics, and server monitoring on the go. PING TEST & MONITOR • Ping test (ICMP) for any hostname or IP address (IPv4 + IPv6) • Live latency chart with last-point highlight and smooth visualization • Packet loss detection — instantly identify unstable connections • Smart alerts for latency spikes, packet loss thresholds, or connection drops • Advanced metrics — jitter, standard deviation, stability score, p50/p95/p99 percentiles • Quality grade (A+ to F) for instant connection health assessment • Insights like Stable, Spiking, or Degraded to explain results • Terminal-style console log with colored status indicators • Configurable interval, timeout, and count limit for precise ping tests SERVICE PULSE • At-a-glance reachability for popular services on the Monitor tab • Live latency with trend arrows and mini charts LOOKS & APP ICONS • Curated Looks — CRT, Windows 95, VHS, Arcade, and more • Alternate app icons to match your style • Optional Icon Pack, Theme Pack, or Bundle — network tools stay free NETWORK TOOLS • DNS Lookup — resolve A, AAAA, and reverse PTR records • Traceroute — hop-by-hop route tracing with per-hop latency and timeout detection • Port Scanner — TCP connect scan with common presets and custom ranges • WHOIS Lookup — domain registration, registrar, expiry, and name server info • Network Snapshot — find my IP address, public IP, DNS servers, network type, IPv6 status • Subnet Calculator — CIDR ranges, masks, broadcast, host count • Wake on LAN — send magic packets to power on devices remotely HISTORY & EXPORT • Auto-saved ping sessions with searchable history • Session detail with full chart replay and complete console log • Share connection quality summaries for faster troubleshooting BUILT FOR GAMERS & PROFESSIONALS • Gamers — monitor ping and latency before it costs you the match • Remote workers — diagnose Wi-Fi issues affecting VPN and video calls • IT & DevOps — server monitor for uptime, DNS propagation, port scanning • Network engineers — subnet calculations, WHOIS lookup, LAN utilities • Streamers & creators — detect packet loss and connection instability Download Ping Network Tools — your network scanner, ping monitor, and connectivity check in one app. MULTI-HOST PING & PRESET GROUPS Compare several hosts at once with multi-host ping: live Radar view, detailed packet Timeline, and side-by-side metrics. Organize favorites into groups and launch them together from the Favorites tab. • Curated preset groups ready to ping — Social, Streaming, Gaming, DNS, and Cloud & Work • Multipurpose host packs for different audiences; launch a whole group in one tap

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Ping at free against Net's freemium. Ping also leads on ratings volume (111 vs 1). Net's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ping sells 7 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ping has 111 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Ping ships an update every 11 days, Net every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
