# Scan App + vs Scanner Doc

The clearest difference is ads: Scan App + at none against Scanner Doc's shown. Scan App + also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Scanner Doc's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 44%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases 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 Doc sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 3.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Scan App +'s written reviews are positive against 52% of Scanner Doc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scan App + ships an update monthly, Scanner Doc every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
