# Barcode Scanner vs WorthPoint

The clearest difference is rating: Barcode Scanner at 4.5 against WorthPoint's 2.1. Barcode Scanner also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 10%) and ratings volume (42K vs 116). WorthPoint's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 72 months) and chart position (#14 vs #50). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Barcode Scanner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and WorthPoint sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Barcode Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barcode Scanner has 42K ratings behind it against 116, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Barcode Scanner's written reviews are positive against 10% of WorthPoint's.

Barcode Scanner ships an update every 72 months, WorthPoint monthly. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
