Simple blocker vs full privacy tool
Blocking specific apps is the easy part. NetMute goes further: per-app firewall rules, real-time traffic monitoring, tracker detection with 1100+ known trackers, a privacy score per app, network profiles and data limits — a privacy control centre, not just an on/off switch.
Feature differences in detail
NetMute shows which domains each app contacts, scores apps by behaviour, blocks 1100+ known trackers automatically, and lets you set different rules for different networks. If you want to understand and control your Mac's entire network behaviour, that is what it is built for.
Price comparison
NetMute is free to download from the Mac App Store. Premium unlocks via a one-time in-app purchase — no subscription, no account. You can use NetMute and decide before paying, with automatic updates via the App Store.
