Sat>IP Alignment vs Satellite Dish
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Sat>IP Alignment
This utility app assists in aligning satellite dishes and antennas using augmented reality and device sensors. It guides users to the correct orbital position and provides calculated values for precise calibration. After setup, it helps fine-tune pointing for signal lock and channel scanning.
- Augmented reality alignment tracker
- Uses location, compass, and camera
- Calculates azimuth, elevation, and tilt
- SAT>IP server integration
- Transponder scanning for signal lock
- Channel list display

This application is designed to help users point their satellite dish/antenna using a SAT>IP server or a SAT>IP compliant IP-LNB. For a semi-precise first alignment, users can first use the augmented reality tracker which will save time while searching for the orbital position. It uses location, compass and camera sensors from the user's mobile phone or tablet and will guide the user in the right direction. After this initial step, the user can use the calculated azimuth, elevation and tilt values to calibrate the satellite dish/antenna. Once everything is set up correctly, the user should connect to the SAT>IP server, select the satellite transponder used for pointing and then press "scan". The analyzer will give the user all required information to fine-tune the pointing and after signal lock has been obtained will provide a list all of the available channels on that transponder.
Satellite Dish

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sat>IP Alignment at every 2 months against Satellite Dish's every 4 months. Sat>IP Alignment also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
