# iScanner vs ID Scanner Professional

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iScanner at 81% against ID Scanner Professional's 20%. iScanner also leads on ratings volume (1.4M vs 3.2K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). ID Scanner Professional's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iScanner sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and ID Scanner Professional sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iScanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iScanner has 1.4M ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
