# Receipt Lens vs Caydex

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Caydex at 100% against Receipt Lens's 64%. Caydex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Receipt Lens's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 4) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Receipt Lens sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Caydex sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Caydex 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 4, 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 Caydex's.

Receipt Lens ships an update monthly, Caydex every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
