Who's on my Wi‑Fi? What's that unknown device? Can I reach my server? Network Scan answers all of it. It finds every device on your network, and opens a real SSH terminal to any of them. Discover, diagnose, and connect, all in a clean, native app with nothing to sign up for. SCAN YOUR NETWORK • See every device on your local network with its IP address and open ports. • Group and filter devices (SSH hosts, media and smart‑home gear, newly seen devices) so the list stays readable. • Continuous monitoring keeps watch and shows when devices come online or drop off. • Identifies the maker of many smart-home devices from the built-in IEEE hardware registry — entirely on device. DIAGNOSE AND EXPLORE • Ping and TCP reachability checks, DNS lookups, port scans, and service banners. • A subnet calculator and interface details for quick network math. • Tap any device to see what it likely is, based on its services and open ports. A REAL SSH TERMINAL • Connect to your servers with a full interactive terminal. Run htop, editors, Claude Code, Codex, and other full‑screen programs. • Works with any SSH server: Raspberry Pi, NAS, routers, and home‑lab machines. • Keep multiple live sessions open at once, to the same server or different ones, and switch between them instantly. • Save hosts and store passwords or generated keys securely in the iOS Keychain, unlocked with Face ID or Touch ID. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • Scans, saved connections, and credentials stay on your device. Network Scan is built for home labs, smart homes, and small offices, anywhere you want to understand your network and reach the machines you run. FREE • Network scanning, the grouped device list, ping and TCP reachability, DNS lookups, and recent scan history. PRO (optional) • The SSH terminal with multiple live sessions. • Custom device names, larger port scans, CSV export, and full scan history. • Try Pro free for 7 days with the yearly plan. • Prefer to pay once? Pro Lifetime is a single one‑time purchase. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto‑renewing subscription, or as a one‑time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Network Scan at 18.0 against MagicSSH's 26.5. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
