Xtool Anyscan holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xtool Anyscan has 85 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Xtool Anyscan's written reviews are positive against 50% of TopScan VAG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Xtool Anyscan ships an update every 4 weeks, TopScan VAG every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
