# Receipt Lens vs Receipt Digitizer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Receipt Digitizer at 100% against Receipt Lens's 64%. Receipt Digitizer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Receipt Lens's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 2) and chart position (#135 vs unranked). On price, ads, 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 Receipt Digitizer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Receipt Digitizer 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 Receipt Digitizer's.

Receipt Lens ships an update monthly, Receipt Digitizer weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
