Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: One Scan at 4.7 against Scanner's 3.5. One Scan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 47). Scanner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly 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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. One Scan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Scanner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
One Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Scan has 12K ratings behind it against 47, 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 24% of Scanner's.
One Scan ships an update every 2 months, Scanner fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
