Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: scanoma at 4.7 against MoleScope™'s 3.8. scanoma also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 19) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). MoleScope™'s advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 48%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

scanoma holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: scanoma has 1.4K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MoleScope™'s written reviews are positive against 48% of scanoma's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MoleScope™ ships an update every 2 months, scanoma fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
