# One Scan vs Camera Scanner

The clearest difference is ads: One Scan at none against Camera Scanner's shown. One Scan also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (12K vs 1.2K). Camera Scanner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). 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 Camera Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 4.7 for Camera 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 0% of Camera Scanner's.
