| Purpose | NetBalancer monitors a computer’s network traffic and lets users set traffic limits, priorities, and rules. | vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor that logs traffic for selected interfaces. |
| Security | The maker says site data exchanges use an SSL-secured encrypted channel and digital signatures. | Because vnStat reads kernel-provided interface statistics, the maker says it does not sniff network traffic. |
| Support | The purchase includes free support, including activation-code recovery. | The maker suggests GitHub for bug reports, improvement ideas, feature requests, and pull requests, and also lists email and IRC contact options. |
