# System Status Lite vs NAS Pro

The clearest difference is rating: NAS Pro at 4.3 against System Status Lite's 3.5. NAS Pro also leads on ratings volume (172 vs 21). System Status Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (66% vs 58%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NAS Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. System Status Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

NAS Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NAS Pro has 172 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of System Status Lite's written reviews are positive against 58% of NAS Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

System Status Lite ships an update monthly, NAS Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
