Slash vs NetCLI
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Slash
This offline calculator quickly determines IP network details like network address, host ranges, and broadcast addresses. It supports various input formats and provides advanced information, including binary views and IPv6 compatibility. Designed for network professionals and students, it offers a streamlined way to perform subnet calculations without an internet connection.
- Offline subnet calculation
- Supports CIDR, bare address, or subnet mask input
- Calculates network, host, and broadcast addresses
- Pastes directly from network device output
- Provides wildcard mask and binary views
- Handles /31 and /32 subnetting
- IPv6 support

An offline subnet calculator for CCNA, Network+, and anyone who works with IP networks day to day. This is the original Slash - the calculator I built for myself so I could check subnetting in seconds instead of doing the math by hand every time. Type it in or paste it from wherever you copied it; Slash works out the rest, all on-device. Features: - Type or paste a CIDR (192.168.1.0/24), a bare address, or a subnet mask - Slash fills in the rest - Network address, first and last host, broadcast, and where the next subnet starts - Paste straight from Cisco IOS, ifconfig, or ipconfig output and it pulls the address and mask out for you - Tap any value to copy it - "More details" opens the wildcard mask, usable host count, and a bit-by-bit binary view - Hand it just a mask and get the CIDR prefix, wildcard, and the hex netmask (the ifconfig / route-table style) - /31 point-to-point (RFC 3021) and /32 handled the way they actually behave - IPv6 when you need it, light or dark, Recents, optional haptics - Fully offline. No accounts, ads, tracking, or subscriptions. Free. - Shamelessly vibe coded using Fable 5; the subnet math lives in its own package and is hand-verified for accuracy About me: I'm a working network engineer and active CCNA, currently living in the beautifully warm state of Arizona. Questions, feedback, or a result you can't explain? Email me any time - I'm responsive, and my email actually works.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: NetCLI at 15.0 against Slash's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
