# Receipt Lens vs Receipting

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Receipting at 100% against Receipt Lens's 64%. Receipting also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Receipt Lens's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Receipt Lens sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Receipting sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Receipting holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Receipt Lens has 4.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Receipt Lens's written reviews are positive against 100% of Receipting's.

Receipt Lens ships an update monthly, Receipting every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
