CoverageKit helps you understand and optimize your home WiFi network by tracking which access point is actually serving your device as you move around. DISCOVER THE PROBLEM Ever notice your WiFi drops or slows down in certain spots? Often it's because multiple access points (your router and mesh nodes) are competing for your device, causing constant handoffs. WiFi Rangefinder makes this invisible problem visible. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan your network to discover all routers and mesh nodes 2. Mark your access points so the app knows what to track 3. Walk through your house while the app monitors which AP is serving you 4. View a coverage map showing exactly where each AP takes over KEY FEATURES - Network Scanner Automatically discover all devices on your local network. Identify routers, mesh nodes, and extenders. - Real-Time AP Tracking See which access point is currently serving your device, with estimated signal strength and latency. - Coverage Mapping Walk through your home and generate a map showing which AP covers which areas. - Handoff Detection Get notified every time your device switches between access points. Find the spots where APs are fighting. - Competing AP Analysis Identify which access points have overlapping coverage and are causing connection issues. - Signal Strength Estimation Monitor your connection quality with latency-based signal estimates and dBm readings. - Scan History Save and review past scans to track improvements after adjusting your network. PERFECT FOR - Mesh network users (Eero, Orbi, Velop, Google WiFi, etc.) - Anyone with WiFi dead zones - Network enthusiasts who want to optimize coverage - Troubleshooting slow or dropping connections PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Delete the app and everything goes with it. NOTE: Signal strength readings are estimates based on network latency, not actual radio measurements (iOS doesn't expose RSSI to apps). Results provide helpful guidance for optimizing your network. Requires location permission to map coverage as you walk.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CoverageKit at none against FieldBus Toolkit's 1. CoverageKit also leads on ads (none vs shown). FieldBus Toolkit's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
