You dial. Their phone rings. They pick up. DialHard places a real call to any number in 140+ countries — landline or mobile. Nothing to install on their end: no app, no signup, no "are you on wi-fi?" Their phone rings like any other call. Pay only for the minutes you use. Rates from $0.03/min, shown on screen before you dial. Credit you've paid for doesn't expire. No plan, no contract. WHAT YOU GET — Calls to 140+ countries, landline and mobile — The per-minute rate on screen before you dial — A real caller ID, so your calls look like what they are: a real person calling — A drop that's on us refunds its minutes automatically — Call history with every call and its cost — One free echo call to hear your line work — Your own number for receiving calls [verify: inbound live in build 47] — Voicemail when you can't pick up [verify enabled] WHO RUNS IT A telecommunications provider registered in Germany (Bundesnetzagentur), operated under EU law. Your data sits under the GDPR. Support is a named person who answers, usually the same day. HOW BILLING WORKS Pay as you go: your account holds credit, and each call bills per minute at the rate shown before you dial. You can't spend past the credit you've added — no surprise bills. An account is required. EMERGENCY CALLS 911, 112 and other emergency numbers don't go through DialHard. Keep your regular phone for those. PRIVACY Your contacts stay on your phone — read on-device, never uploaded. Calls are not recorded. See https://dialhard.com/privacy.

NetScanPro turns your iPhone or iPad into a professional-grade Wi-Fi network scanner. Discover what's on your network, identify what each device actually is, see which services are exposed, and understand what might be at risk — with all scanning and identification happening on your device. FEATURES Device Discovery - Finds devices on your local Wi-Fi network using four discovery methods working in parallel: TCP probing, Bonjour/mDNS, SSDP/UPnP, and ICMP ping - Shows IP and IPv6 addresses, MAC addresses where available, hostnames, and device categories - Search by name, IP, vendor, model, MAC address or service, and group devices by type - Works with Macs, PCs, smart TVs, printers, speakers, Fire TVs, Apple TVs, routers, smart-home and Matter devices, and more Device Identification - Identifies devices from Bonjour records, UPnP announcements, open-port patterns, and — for devices that broadcast one, such as AirPlay and Chromecast hardware — MAC vendor prefixes matched against the full IEEE manufacturer database, bundled offline - Recognizes your router from its UPnP announcement, a known router hostname, or your network's gateway address - Every identification carries a confidence level, so you can tell a confirmed match from a best guess - The device you're scanning from identifies itself - Devices that share nothing identifiable stay unlabeled rather than mislabeled Port Scanning with Plain-Language Descriptions (Pro) - Tap any device to scan 27 common TCP ports - Identifies HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, SMB, IPP, RDP, VNC, and more - Tap any port to learn what it actually does — no networking degree required - Security guidance for sensitive ports explains real-world risks like WannaCry, credential exposure, and exposed cameras and printers, with severity tiers so you know what needs attention - Devices with a web port open get a one-tap link into Safari — the fastest way to identify something that won't tell you its name Network Security Summary (Pro) - Scan every device on your network at once and see all your security findings in one place - Findings grouped by service and ordered worst-first, so you can spot patterns across your whole network at a glance - Tap any finding to see exactly which devices are affected Network-Aware Scanning - Each Wi-Fi network keeps its own separate device list - Switch between networks (home, work, anywhere) with a tap - Per-network scan history, device renaming, and PDF reports that open with a summary of what the scan found - Rename a device and the name sticks, even after your router hands its address to something else. When NetScanPro can't tell whether a device moved, it asks instead of guessing, and the answer can be undone for two weeks - Create networks manually and pin a scan to one, so two sites that look identical (same subnet, same gateway) stay separate On iPad - A sidebar for your networks, Security and Scan History, with device details beside the list - Scan History shows which devices were new or missing in each scan - Keyboard shortcuts: ⌘R to scan, ⌘F to search Privacy First - Face ID, Touch ID or passcode locks the app — optional in Settings - All scanning and identification happen on-device, with no cloud lookup — nothing leaves your local network - No accounts, no analytics, no tracking SDKs - Your scan history stays on your device Freemium - Free: unlimited device discovery, 3 network scans per day - Pro ($9.99 one-time): unlimited scans + port scanning on every device + network security summary + PDF report export + device renaming. No subscriptions. The help screen in Settings explains how device discovery works and which devices may not appear (some IoT and privacy-mode phones don't expose themselves to any iOS scanner).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DialHard at none against NetScanPro's 1. NetScanPro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
