Wi-Fi Analyzer Network Scanner is your complete network diagnostic toolkit that transforms your iPhone into a professional-grade network analyzer. This comprehensive WiFi analyzer and network scanner provides everything you need for network troubleshooting, WiFi optimization, and security monitoring. Whether you are a network administrator managing enterprise infrastructure, an IT professional diagnosing connectivity issues, or a home user wanting to optimize your WiFi performance, this network tools suite delivers professional results with an intuitive interface. WIFI SPEED TEST AND NETWORK PERFORMANCE Our advanced speed test engine measures your internet connection with precision. Test download speeds, upload speeds, and latency to understand your true network performance. The WiFi analyzer displays detailed metrics including signal strength measurements, channel interference analysis, and network quality assessment. The integrated ping test supports both TCP and UDP protocols, allowing you to check connectivity to any server worldwide. Monitor response times, track packet loss, and analyze network stability with comprehensive statistics. New jitter measurement helps identify network consistency issues that affect VoIP calls, online gaming, and video streaming quality. DNS PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK Compare DNS provider performance with our DNS benchmark feature. Test response times from eight popular DNS services including Cloudflare DNS, Google Public DNS, Quad9, OpenDNS, and AdGuard DNS. Our DNS lookup tool also supports comprehensive record type queries for technical analysis. NETWORK LATENCY HEATMAP Visualize your connection quality to servers around the world with our interactive latency heatmap. Test network latency across sixteen global server locations. NETWORK SCANNER AND DEVICE DISCOVERY Discover every device connected to your local network with our powerful LAN scanner. The network scanner identifies all devices on your WiFi network, displaying IP addresses, MAC addresses, and vendor information. Create a complete inventory including routers, computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and IoT devices. SECURITY MONITORING AND SPY DETECTOR Protect your network with built-in security monitoring tools. The spy detector functionality helps identify suspicious or unauthorized devices connected to your WiFi network. PORT SCANNER AND NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS The professional port scanner checks for open TCP and UDP ports on any host. Customize port ranges for targeted scanning or use predefined ranges for common services. Identify running services, check firewall configurations, and diagnose connectivity issues with detailed scan results. Additional diagnostic tools include MTU discovery for optimizing packet sizes, host analyzer for detailed network interface information, and Wake on LAN for remotely powering on computers. IP TOOLS AND NETWORK UTILITIES Access a complete suite of IP utilities within the app. The subnet calculator helps plan network addressing schemes with CIDR notation support. Reverse DNS lookup identifies hostnames from IP addresses. IP geolocation reveals geographic location and ISP information for any IP address worldwide. The WHOIS domain lookup provides registration details for any domain name. Our QR code generator creates shareable codes for WiFi credentials. Bonjour and mDNS service discovery identifies available network services automatically. WIFI ANALYSIS AND SIGNAL OPTIMIZATION Our WiFi analyzer provides detailed channel analysis to identify interference and optimize router placement. Signal strength mapping helps locate dead zones and areas with weak coverage. Whether you need to run a quick ping test, perform comprehensive WiFi analysis, scan your network for connected devices, benchmark DNS providers, or test global latency, this network analyzer toolkit has you covered.

Mobile Intrusion Detection System -Deep Network Visibility, Mobile-First Stop wondering what's on your network. NetScanner gives you instant, detailed visibility into every device on your LAN with two scan modes: Turbo Scan - Sub-minute sweep of your subnet. ARP discovery + top ports (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, RDP). Fast enough to run on every WiFi connect. Deep Scan -Full protocol analysis across 60+ ports including Kubernetes API, Docker, Grafana, Prometheus, ESXi, databases, and message queues. Probes each web port for HTTP response headers and page titles. Discovers services via mDNS/Bonjour, SSDP/UPnP, LLMNR, NetBIOS, and WSD. Smart Device Tracking - Devices are assigned a permanent UUID on first discovery and matched across scans using weighted trait-based similarity scoring (hostname, Bonjour name, MAC, open ports, web server signatures, page titles, vendor, IP). No more lost devices when an IP changes or a service restarts. Change Detection & Alerts - Push notifications for new devices, IP changes, and devices going offline. Per-device change logs track every detected change with timestamps and old/new values. Devices offline for 7+ days are flagged for cleanup. Built for Home Labbers - Recognizes VMware ESXi, Kubernetes NodePorts, Docker, NFS, iSCSI, Grafana, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, and dozens more. Vendor identification from MAC OUI lookup. Auto-classifies Apple, Samsung, Google, Amazon, Raspberry Pi, and smart home devices. Privacy-First - Runs entirely on your device. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. Export your device list as JSON. Scheduled background scans with configurable intervals (1h / 6h / 24h). Multi-network aware - only scans the network you've selected. Authorize & Monitor - Mark trusted devices as verified. Nickname your devices. Spot the unknown ones instantly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Network Intrusion Detection at none against Wi's 3. Network Intrusion Detection also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Wi's advantage is device support. On price there is nothing between them.
