# Scanner vs 文字识别

The clearest difference is ads: 文字识别 at none against Scanner's shown. 文字识别 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 7) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and 文字识别 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $13.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

文字识别 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner has 2.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of 文字识别's.

Scanner ships an update every 5 weeks, 文字识别 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
