Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HQ at none against uScan's 11. HQ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). uScan's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 33 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 104). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for HQ against 4.6 for uScan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uScan has 15K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of HQ's written reviews are positive against 47% of uScan's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
