# One Scan vs App ~ Scanner

One Scan and App ~ Scanner both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 98% of App ~ Scanner's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. App ~ Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 1.2K). On price, rating, 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 App ~ Scanner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for One Scan against 4.8 for App ~ Scanner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Scan has 12K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 26% of One Scan's written reviews are positive against 98% of App ~ Scanner's.

One Scan ships an update every 2 months, App ~ Scanner every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
