# Text Extract(文字提取) vs OCR Text Scanner

The clearest difference is rating: Text Extract(文字提取) at 4.4 against OCR Text Scanner's 3.0. Text Extract(文字提取) also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). OCR Text Scanner's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Extract(文字提取) sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and OCR Text Scanner sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text Extract(文字提取) holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Extract(文字提取) has 39 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Text Extract(文字提取)'s written reviews are positive against 100% of OCR Text Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Text Extract(文字提取) ships an update every 2 weeks, OCR Text Scanner every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
