# TotalScan vs SuperScan

The clearest difference is ratings volume: SuperScan at 1.6K against TotalScan's 33. TotalScan's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 46%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TotalScan sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SuperScan sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for TotalScan against 4.6 for SuperScan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SuperScan has 1.6K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of TotalScan's written reviews are positive against 46% of SuperScan's.

TotalScan ships an update every 3 weeks, SuperScan every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
