# Adobe Scan vs One Scan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Adobe Scan at 83% against One Scan's 26%. Adobe Scan also leads on ratings volume (1.6M vs 12K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Adobe Scan sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and One Scan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Adobe Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe Scan has 1.6M ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Adobe Scan's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's.

Adobe Scan ships an update fortnightly, One Scan every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
