# One Scan vs ScanMaster

The clearest difference is rating: One Scan at 4.7 against ScanMaster's 2.7. One Scan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 148). ScanMaster's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. One Scan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and ScanMaster sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

One Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Scan has 12K ratings behind it against 148, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of One Scan's written reviews are positive against 23% of ScanMaster's.

One Scan ships an update every 2 months, ScanMaster every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
