# Scanner App vs One Scan

Scanner App and One Scan both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. Scanner App also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). One Scan's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1.4K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Scanner App against 4.7 for One Scan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Scan has 12K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's.

Scanner App ships an update monthly, One Scan every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
