# Scanner Vault vs Scan Pro PDF

Scanner Vault and Scan Pro PDF both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Scanner Vault's written reviews are positive against 50% of Scan Pro PDF's. Scanner Vault also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15K vs 130). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner Vault sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year and Scan Pro PDF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Scanner Vault against 4.7 for Scan Pro PDF. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner Vault has 15K ratings behind it against 130, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Scanner Vault's written reviews are positive against 50% of Scan Pro PDF's.

Scanner Vault ships an update fortnightly, Scan Pro PDF every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
