# Wifi Scan vs WebShield

The clearest difference is rating: WebShield at 5.0 against Wifi Scan's 3.2. Wifi Scan's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wifi Scan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days and WebShield sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WebShield holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wifi Scan has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Wifi Scan ships an update every 3 weeks, WebShield every 16 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
