# Cloudcheck vs NetScan

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cloudcheck at none against NetScan's 2. Cloudcheck also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). NetScan's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Cloudcheck asks for nothing beyond the download.

NetScan holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 62 and 94 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Cloudcheck's written reviews are positive against 50% of NetScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cloudcheck ships an update every 2 months, NetScan monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
