# ScanScan(白描) vs Text Capture

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScanScan(白描) at 87% against Text Capture's 42%. ScanScan(白描) also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Text Capture's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 349). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScanScan(白描) sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Text Capture sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
