PRYXEL - Network & Device brings network, device and sound checks together on your iPhone, iPad and compatible Apple silicon Mac. UNDERSTAND YOUR NETWORK Measure download and upload speed with 15-second measurement windows, inspect latency and compare results.

Availability depends on your device and the information the operating system makes available. EXPLORE SOUND Use speaker and microphone checks, a tone generator and the sound meter. Sound levels are estimates for everyday comparison, not certified acoustic measurements. OPTIONAL COMMUNITY COMPARISONS Choose whether to contribute completed CPU, GPU or network test results. Network comparisons group voluntary results by country and connection type, with supported carrier groups for cellular tests. These are community samples, not nationwide coverage statistics. FREE AND PREMIUM Use free diagnostics without a subscription. An optional one-time PREMIUM purchase unlocks the additional tools marked PREMIUM in the app, including monitoring, scheduling and local DNS filtering. Your App Store displays the current regional price before purchase. Restore eligible purchases in the app. IMPORTANT DETAILS Network discovery depends on local-network permission, network configuration and responding devices. Security Score reports observed exposed services; it is not a guarantee that a device is safe. Local DNS filtering applies to supported DNS traffic on this device and can be bypassed by encrypted DNS or direct IP connections. iOS controls background execution, so scheduled measurements and monitoring cannot promise uninterrupted sampling. Thermal status describes the state reported by iOS; it is not a measured component temperature. Tests can use data, battery, audio and supported hardware outputs. No account is required. Community sharing and analytics are optional.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Phone Diagnostics at none against PRYXEL's 1. Phone Diagnostics also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). PRYXEL's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
