# AI Scanner vs Scanner ㅤ

The clearest difference is ratings volume: AI Scanner at 9.2K against Scanner ㅤ's 98. AI Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Scanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Scanner ㅤ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for AI Scanner against 4.7 for Scanner ㅤ. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Scanner has 9.2K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of AI Scanner's written reviews are positive against 75% of Scanner ㅤ's.

AI Scanner ships an update every 8 days, Scanner ㅤ every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
