# Ping vs Net

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.

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.
