This app is an iOS port for iperf3, which is the most commonly used network testing and performance computation tool. Iperf is a tool to measure maximum TCP bandwidth, allowing the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. Features - Compatible with iperf3 in other platforms - Run as iperf3 client or server - Customize iperf3 arguments - Display Wi-Fi interface link speed and SSID IMPORTANT This application is based on iperf 3.21, which is not compatible with the legacy iperf (version 1.x and 2.x). And it may have some minor issues with the other iperf3 versions.
iPerf Tools
This tool measures network bandwidth using the iPerf3 library. It supports TCP, SCTP, and UDP protocols, providing detailed reports on bandwidth, jitter, and packet loss across multiple platforms.
- iPerf3 library support
- TCP, SCTP, and UDP testing
- Bandwidth, jitter, and loss reporting
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Multiple simultaneous connections
- Configurable test duration

iPerf features * Use the up to date iPerf3 library (3.13) * TCP and SCTP Measure bandwidth Report MSS/MTU size and observed read sizes. Support for TCP window size via socket buffers. * UDP Client can create UDP streams of specified bandwidth. Measure packet loss Measure delay jitter Multicast capable * Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, Android, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, VxWorks, Solaris,... * Client and server can have multiple simultaneous connections. * Server handles multiple connections, rather than quitting after a single test. * Can run for specified time. * Print periodic, intermediate bandwidth, jitter, and loss reports. * A server accepts a single client simultaneously (iPerf3).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iPerf at 4.2 against iPerf Tools's 1.0. iPerf also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 1) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). iPerf Tools's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
iPerf costs $1.99 and iPerf Tools $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iPerf holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPerf has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
