Start with this device. NetSward turns the network evidence already available to your iPhone or iPad into clear next steps. See current Wi-Fi identity when iOS permits it, connection path and gateway evidence, bounded DNS checks, public interfaces, Bonjour discovery, user-entered DNS, TCP, and TLS checks, retained history, surveys, checkpoint maps, and reports with redaction options. Availability is labeled when iOS does not expose a capability; the app does not pretend that an unknown value is zero. Pair an optional Mac only when you choose. Mac evidence stays in its own source section with capture and receive times. Local Network, Location, and camera access are requested only for the related feature; pairing is disabled until you approve it. Choose Guided for symptom-based help or Workbench for direct expert access. Search and pin tools, replay recorded incidents, compare matching measurements, review survey checkpoints, and inspect bounded HTTPS resource timings. Optional local application-speed tests require Pro on both devices, a trusted Mac, and its temporary operator allowance. NetSward Pro is an optional one-time purchase. Pro adds richer local history, named surveys, HTTPS metrics, multi-source exports, and advanced Shortcuts. Pro is sold through the App Store and can be restored on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple Account. Each device verifies its own entitlement; an iPhone or iPad purchase never authorizes a Mac command.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: NetSward at 3 against Wifi Analyzer's 1. Wifi Analyzer's advantage is iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
