Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HE.NET Network Tools at none against iNet+'s 3. HE.NET Network Tools also leads on ratings volume (70 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). iNet+'s advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iNet+ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HE.NET Network Tools has 70 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of iNet+'s written reviews are positive against 78% of HE.NET Network Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iNet+ ships an update every 4 months, HE.NET Network Tools every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
