# Scan App + vs Scanner App

The clearest difference is ads: Scan App + at none against Scanner App's shown. Scan App + also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 26%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Scanner App's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan App + sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Scanner App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scan App + holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.1K and 12K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Scan App +'s written reviews are positive against 26% of Scanner App's.
