Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Scan at 4.8 against BarcodeTable's 4.0. Scan also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). BarcodeTable's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Scan's written reviews are positive against 100% of BarcodeTable's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scan ships an update every 6 weeks, BarcodeTable every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
