Whether for troubleshooting, security, or simple curiosity, it’s always helpful to know which devices are connected to your network. Network Radar is a powerful yet easy-to-use network scanning and management tool for iPhone and iPad that gives you detailed insights into all devices on your network. As Network Radar scans, it instantly displays newly discovered devices. For each device, you can view comprehensive information such as IP address, DNS names, mDNS name, open ports, response time, and more. You can also create scans with custom IP ranges. All scans are saved and can be revisited later — even when your device is no longer connected to that network. Take advantage of the built-in network utilities, including Ping, Port Scan, Whois, and DNS lookups (forward and reverse). These tools work not only within your local network but also with external IP addresses and domains. Network Radar is not limited to your local network. Specify custom start and end addresses to scan any reachable segment of any network from your device. With its intuitive user interface, Network Radar is simple to use across all your iOS devices. It’s a modern, efficient app designed for iOS with minimal impact on your network. By the way, Network Radar is also available for macOS — check it out!

Web Toolbox will help you keep an eye on your sites and web servers. With a few simple steps you can set up automated checks on the responses and content of your web pages. You will be able to run them individually or in batches whenever you want directly from your iPhone and iPad without any subscription. You will be able to configure different types of automated checks: - HTTP Status Code: Indicate the expected HTTP status code, if the code obtained is different the check will fail. - HTTP Header: You will be able to indicate the name of an HTTP header whose content you want to check, you will be able to do an exact check or search for a string within the value. - Content: You will be able to search for an HTML element within the page by indicating its CSS selector and check its content. - Custom JavaScript: Finally you will be able to run a JavaScript script within the page and check its result. You will also be able to decide whether to run the checks on the simple textual response of your web page, or to render the page in a real web browser. To help you identify issues on your websites, Web Toolbox includes several tools: - DNS: A DNS client that will allow you to query DNS servers in your local or remote network with the most popular preconfigured ones (Google DNS, OpenDNS, Cloudflare) - GeoIP: This tool will allow you visually to pinpoint the geographic location of any IP address, as well as obtain other information about the address such as the ISP - Whois: A completely revised Whois client to allow you to access domain name information more easily. In addition to the classic text response, for most Whois servers, you will have access to a tabular mode that will make the domain data more readable and usable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Web Toolbox at Free against Network Radar's $9.99. Web Toolbox also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 71%). Network Radar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
